Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for buildings managed by Janet Tepfer reveal significant concerns about safety, pest infestations, and slow owner responsiveness. Many report cockroaches, mice, mold, and lackluster maintenance, notably heat and water issues, along with recurring safety threats from problematic tenants that owners allegedly neglect. While some appreciate convenient locations near transit and parks, good water pressure, and helpful building staff, numerous renters do not recommend the properties due to ongoing management deficiencies. Overall, expect outdated, often unsafe buildings with subpar upkeep and unresponsive landlord intervention, especially regarding tenant safety and pest control, highlighting critical management improvements needed.
