Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for buildings managed by Peter Jakobson indicate that while the management is generally responsive and doormen are praised for their friendliness, there are significant concerns regarding pest control and cleanliness issues, particularly in laundry facilities. Noise levels can be a problem due to proximity to busy streets and the presence of loud neighbors, especially in buildings popular with students. Residents appreciate the convenient locations and amenities, although some feel that the rent does not reflect the overall value of the apartments. Improvements in maintenance and pest management are suggested for a better living experience.
