Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

While some residents appreciate the quiet environment and friendly neighbors, issues such as poor cleanliness, inadequate garbage management, and ongoing pest problems are prevalent. Complaints often mention slow responses to maintenance requests and ongoing construction.

Consequently, while some recommend living in these buildings for their locations and community atmosphere, dissatisfaction with management is a common theme.

Nice Building, Great neighborhood

Pros

Quiet Great neighborhood

Management slow to respond on maintenance issues Building upkeep not as good as it once was

Former tenant·10 minutes ago

Slumllords, building is dirty

Pros

Location and building is quiet.

Cons

Building maintenance is non existent. No garbage removal on the weekends, unless the super is on vacation and someone is covering for him, that's the only way the building really get cleaned.

Advice to the owners

As a tenant that has lived here going on 5 years. The cleanliness of the building has really plummeted with this current super, despite the constant hike on rent. The laundry room that's advertised as an amenity is always gross ,and overflowing with trash. THE ENTRANCE and lobby of the building that was once spotless with the previous Supers, get cleaned when the super feels like it. On top of that, they now expect paying tenant to walk their small broken down cardboard boxes downstairs in the back yard and not leave it in the garbage room, because this Super thinks it's too much work for him even though he barely cleans the building. There has been dried piss in the stairwell for months that I submitted a request in the portal to get cleaned, and no surprise, the dried up piss is still there. I have complained multiple times to property manager but most complaints fall on deaf ears. Avoid this building if you can, building is quiet, no issues with other tenants but the upkeep of the building is very atrocious.
