Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback on buildings managed by ARETE MANAGEMENT LLC reveals serious concerns about management and living conditions. While some buildings maintain cleanliness and basic amenities like heat and water pressure, many reports highlight pervasive issues including poor management responsiveness, inadequate pest control, and unsafe environments affected by drug activity and security lapses. Supportive housing efforts are criticized for inefficacy, and discrimination against certain tenants is frequently mentioned. Garbage handling and noise levels are often problematic, with security personnel and maintenance staff receiving unfavorable remarks. Overall, tenants advise more proactive, sensitive management and improved security protocols to enhance safety and livability.
