Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of buildings managed by Steven Phillips indicate a mixed experience for tenants. While some residents praised the cleanliness, amenities, and responsive maintenance teams, several reviewers voiced concerns about poor management practices, particularly highlighting issues with pest control, lack of responsiveness from management, and persistent elevator problems. Moreover, conflicts with on-site staff, particularly with a manager named Vince, have led to disapproval from tenants. Despite enjoying good neighborhood dynamics and quality living spaces, potential renters should remain cautious about management's accountability and the ongoing concerns raised by current and former tenants.

Reviews

Former tenant·1 month ago

Come get all your belongings infested with carpet beetles

Pros

Despite the building itself and our apt being beautiful with incredible views, finding that my apt had a major carpet beetle infestation absolutely ruined everything a

Cons

I did not expect to move in and have my clothes infested with carpet beetle larvae before hitting 1 month into the lease. Lost thousands of dollars trying to protect and save my stuff, had to throw out so much, absolutely fucked my mind up and will never not be on the look out for these bugs. They sprayed 3 times, and Vince gaslit the shit out of us, despite my evidence of carpets beetles there 20 min after my first box was brought into the apt. He said there were no carpet beetle issues previously, blah blah blah, but then why would you actually write the words carpet beetles in the lease with the bedbug clause? Fuck Vince, he can go suck a dick.

Advice to the owners

Be accountable, fix infestations BEFORE tenants move in, fire Vince, don’t make your pest people come to the apt but not let them talk to you.

Vince Butta is Horrible

Pros

Absolutely nothing. He makes everything here worse and the building has so much promise.

Cons

He is extremely rude, very difficult to work with, and a total jerk. I could not say enough to stay away from this building until he is gone. Absolutely horrible. Other tenants all know just how terrible he is too.

Advice to the owners

Get rid of him.
