Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants under Scott Castellano's management frequently report unresponsive landlords and poor building upkeep. Common issues include pest infestations, dirty common areas, inadequate garbage management, and persistent maintenance delays. Several buildings suffer from security problems like broken doors and noisy neighbors. Heating and elevator functions are often unreliable, and communication with management is slow or nonexistent. While some tenants note decent apartment sizes and convenient locations, these positives are overshadowed by neglectful property management and unresolved repairs. Overall, renters should expect challenges with responsiveness, cleanliness, and building maintenance when considering properties managed by Scott Castellano.
