Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews of buildings managed by Spencer Capotosto reveal significant maintenance and management issues. Residents express dissatisfaction with severe pest problems, outdated appliances, and unresponsive management focused on rent hikes rather than addressing essential concerns. The buildings suffer from poor cleanliness, garbage management, and overall upkeep. While some acknowledge favorable aspects like spacious apartments and convenient locations, the prevalent sentiment urges substantial improvements in maintenance efficiency, pest control, and overall management responsiveness. Prospective renters are advised to consider alternative options due to the persisting challenges unless there are notable enhancements in ownership and management practices.

Reviews

Former tenant·6 minutes ago

Infested, Outdated, and Poorly Managed

Pros

Pros The only positive is the location it’s close to public transportation and shops.

Cons

The building has roaches and mice. Appliances are old and barely work. Management is greedy, unresponsive, and more focused on raising rent than fixing serious issue

Advice to the owners

Advice to the property owner Invest in proper pest control, update the appliances, and start treating tenants with respect. Ignoring basic living conditions while constantly increasing rent is unacceptable.

Large building, not bad

Pros

Great spacious apartments

Cons

Trash management is often a problem—there are rats and other pests in the basement. Packages get stolen.

Advice to the owners

Give the maintenance staff more resources.
