Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for SAFEGUARD REALTY MGMT, INC properties reveal a mixed management experience. Responsive and attentive ownership is noted in some buildings, with clean premises and friendly neighbors praised. However, consistent issues arise around heating reliability, pest control, and maintenance delays. Several tenants report slow or selective responsiveness from management, with deteriorating building infrastructure like unsecured access and rodent problems. Communication gaps and occasional neglect of tenant concerns are common complaints. While some buildings benefit from good location and community atmosphere, prospective renters should be cautious and advocate strongly for prompt management involvement to ensure habitability and timely repairs.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Great owners and location

Pros

Responsive owners, friendly neighbours, good location.

Cons

Heating not always consistent, hot water not always consistent.

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Overpriced apartment, frequent maintenance issues, non-responsive management

Pros

The neighbors were alright

Cons

Management--specifically Alex Abreu--often completely ignored maintenance requests and required constant emails to get him to respond to simple requests. He would say he'd follow up on maintenance issues, only to ignore them.

Advice to the owners

Fire your management team and get people who actually care about maintaining habitable apartments for your tenants.
