Review Summary for 315 Ovington Avenue
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenants express deep dissatisfaction with the building's cleanliness and pest control. Several reviews mention extensive issues with roaches, rats, and poor garbage management, leading to a significant discomfort for residents. The management's lack of responsiveness to maintenance requests is a recurring problem, along with concerns about the building's overall hygiene. Despite some positive notes on neighborly interactions and certain amenities like working elevators and security, the prevalent pest infestation and maintenance neglect seem to overshadow any potential benefits. Significant advice is directed towards immediate action to improve the building's condition for a more habitable environment.

Wish I never moved here
Former Tenant
Pros:
A place to rest my head at night
Cons:
Building smells horrible, there are stains all over the walls and carpets. Spider webs all over the lobby and around the building. Rats and roaches also are everywhere.
The ceiling and walls all have cracks and look like it’s about to fall apart.
Management never answers the phone and rarely responds to emails,
There is also a lot of favoritism from management regarding which tenants get their apartments fixed.
Many tenants have apartments in horrible conditions with no help from management.
Tennents with a parking space have to walk through piles of garbage to get to the garage.
Building also has a permanent cigarette smoke smell

Pest problem and management sucks
Former Tenant
Pros:
Rent stabilized building
Cons:
Roaches/water bugs infested and management is non-responsive. (Great super, but he can do so much with no support) . Nasty carpets in the lobby of the building too and they never clean the laundry rooms
Advice to owner:
Remove nasty carpet and handle bug issue in basement

Filthy and Roach Infested

Rent is cheap and a lot of space

Roach city, USA
Former Tenant
Pros:
Elevator is always working, security is good, tenants are usually pretty nice. Lots of families and older adults living here. Mostly quiet.
Cons:
So many pests, like so many. Like a frightening amount all over the building. The day I moved in there was a weird bug waiting for me on my front door. Water pressure and temp is horrible, I’ve taken too many cold showers at all times of the day to count.
Advice to owner:
Invest in the building, dirty walls and stinky carpet isn’t cutting it.
