Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of buildings managed by FIRST MANAGEMENT CORP illustrate mixed management quality. Positive feedback highlights some buildings as clean with responsive, helpful supers and well-maintained public areas, located in convenient neighborhoods. However, several units suffer from pest infestations, heating issues, and poor garbage management. Tenants frequently report unresponsive or rude staff, broken amenities like elevators and laundry, and lax security leading to package theft. Noise levels vary widely, and some buildings have strict or intrusive policies. Overall, renters should anticipate variable experiences across properties, with management responsiveness and maintenance quality inconsistent—prompting the need for improved communication and better upkeep in several locations.

Victoria Hall - Clean and Easy Living

Pros

Very nice lobby with well maintained public spaces. Easy access to mail, designated package area, and elevators.

Cons

No pets allowed in the building, which is a pro and a con. The halls can get quite warm in the summer!

Good but Potential Pest Issue

Pros

Spacious apartments with modern appliances

Cons

Spotted a large roach in my unit on the fifth floor within days of moving in. Seems like a good amount of exposed pipping in the units
