Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews for buildings managed by Philip Book reveal a trend of well-maintained and clean properties with good garbage management and minimal pest issues. Residents appreciate the quiet atmosphere, nice neighbors, and convenient amenities like laundry rooms and elevators. However, some note that units tend to be small with thin walls, and noise from nearby streets or heating systems can be bothersome. Owner responsiveness varies, with some tenants finding management attentive and others experiencing delays, especially regarding emergency repairs. Suggestions include improving super availability beyond limited hours and enhancing communication for timely issue resolution. Overall, tenants find these buildings desirable for their upkeep and community feel.
