Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of Thomas Higgins-managed buildings, particularly at 133 Avenue D, reveal significant management challenges. Tenants frequently cite persistent maintenance issues, including unreliable heat and hot water, pest infestations (roaches, mice, rats), and poor cleanliness with unkept hallways and garbage problems. Responsiveness to repair requests is often described as slow or neglectful, with some reporting ignored or mishandled complaints. While neighbors are generally seen as positive, common areas suffer from noise and loitering disturbances. Rent stabilization is appreciated, but frequent rent hikes and alleged poor tenant treatment tarnish the experience. Overall, renters suggest urgent improvements in maintenance, pest control, cleanliness, and management responsiveness.
