Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by WASHINGTON TOWERS LLC reveals significant management and maintenance challenges. Common issues include persistent pest infestations, especially cockroaches, poor cleanliness in common areas, unreliable heat during winter, and inadequate garbage management often attracting raccoons. Many tenants report slow or dismissive owner responsiveness, with repairs frequently delayed or superficially addressed. Noise disturbances and problematic neighbors are also noted concerns. While some tenants appreciate the affordability and size of apartments, and the friendly neighbors in some buildings, overall management is often described as unprofessional and negligent. Prospective renters should expect ongoing maintenance difficulties and a need for persistent tenant advocacy.

There’s Cockroaches Everywhere

Pros

It’s cheap for how many rooms given in the apartment.

Cons

The rooms are tiny, there’s a constant roach infestation no matter how many times the exterminator is called or how clean you keep the kitchen. The toilet always gurgles loudly for 30 minutes after you flush it. The bathroom sink is always clogged. Sometimes hot water is unpredictable with the kitchen sink. We had a leaking problem with the shower head and instead of actually fixing it, the “plumber” just decided to turn the shower handle the opposite way and call it a day. When my roomate confronted him about it, he said “he had other jobs to do” and proceeded to run away. I had another extermination appointment today, and I asked the “exterminator” what was in the spray bottle he was using, and he said that he didn’t know, and that it was something that just “kills the roaches.” What exterminator doesn’t know what product they’re using the kill bugs??? I have a feeling the landlord just hires his friends to handle these issues instead of hiring actual professionals to do the jobs.

Advice to the owners

Shame on you. Expect a 311 call soon.

Pretty bad building and terrible management

Pros

Cheap and sizeable apartment

Cons

The pipes are so unbelievably loud. It wakes my whole apartment up multiple times a night. Management is unbearable to work with. Truly terrible. They bug situation is also pretty bad and management doesnt care. You have to take care of it yourself. There is literally nothing that could happen that managment could care about- even when my ceiling was leaking and had mold growing I had to hound them to get it taken care of, which consited of them just paining over the water stains, and leaving the paint they chipped off all over the counter and floor. I could go on but you het the point.

Advice to the owners

Take care of the apartments. Be responsive when tenants tell you there's a problem. And call people back when you say you will so they don't have to chase you down for the smallest thing.
