Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent renter feedback on buildings managed by Nathan Schwarcz, particularly at 1221 Atlantic Avenue, reveals significant challenges. Tenants report serious pest infestations, especially roaches, and poorly maintained garbage areas, contributing to an unhygienic environment. Noise levels and neighborhood safety concerns are frequent complaints, with loud parties and violent incidents mentioned. While some appreciate the location and occasional responsive moments from management, overall owner responsiveness is considered slow or inadequate, especially regarding pest control and security. Rent increases are cited as steep despite declining living conditions. Prospective tenants should expect fundamental management and maintenance issues that compromise comfort and safety.

Starter Apartment For Students

Pros

I needed a cheap apartment with minimal roommates when I was in graduate school. If I was spending a lot more time at home I would've been miserable because the apartment is just so cramped and dingy.

Cons

Absolute slumlords, cockroach problem that never went away, packages constantly went missing, very little light.

Advice to the owners

I don't know what advice to give.

Avoid at all costs

Pros

Started out as affordable until rent increased by $500 in 1 year then another $300 the year after

Cons

Extremely high rent increases. Severe roach infestation despite hiring my own exterminator after monthly useless exterminator visits. Do not deal with dangerous and violent tenants who impact the safety of others. Never manage the garbage and waste outside. Took months to repair a fridge leading to loss of hundreds of dollars of food.
