Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for buildings managed by John Crotty reveal significant management challenges. Common issues include poor cleanliness, ineffective garbage management, frequent pest infestations, and maintenance delays, especially concerning heating and plumbing. Safety concerns and security lapses hint at inadequate oversight. While some locations have friendly neighbors and quiet environments, many tenants report noisy, disruptive residents and problems with unauthorized access. Owner responsiveness is often perceived as slow or insufficient, though a few mention amicable staff. Overall, renters advise improved upkeep, pest control, and security measures to enhance living conditions. Despite drawbacks, some appreciate the building location and community aspects.
