Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews reveal significant concerns regarding the management of buildings owned by Margaret Brunn. Many residents cite poor cleanliness, ineffective pest control, and unresponsive management as major issues, often leading to frustrations around maintenance and overall building conditions. While some tenants appreciate the friendly atmosphere and spacious living arrangements, persistent reports of roach and mouse infestations, as well as complaints related to construction and noise, overshadow the positives. Overall, prospective renters should be cautious, as the management's commitment to addressing tenant concerns appears lacking, making this a challenging option for comfortable living.
