Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

1655 Union Street could be so much better

Pros

Quiet apartments, clean, friendly neighbors

Cons

on going leak in all top floor apartment ceilings, that have not been addressed adequately. water pressure low and averages at least five minutes before water becomes hot. exterminator scheduled to visit during the week between 10am - 1pm when no one is home. loitering in front of building all hours of day and night by non residents.
