Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews for buildings managed by Joshua Gotlib indicate significant issues with management responsiveness. While many residents appreciate the building locations and relative cleanliness of common areas, they frequently express frustration over the lack of timely maintenance and repairs.

Reviews

Former tenant·just now

Overall, a good place to live, but unresponsive landlord

Pros

Rent is reasonable and overall, it's a great location super close to the 1.

Cons

Not responsive at all; also doesn't make repairs on internal units

Former tenant·just now

The worst management

Pros

My neighbor's are great. There are mostly families with children here The building is rarely ever cleaned.

Cons

The management doesn't fix anything they just bandaid the issue. The garbage in front of the building is rat infested and dirty.

Advice to the owners

Treat the building and the people with respect and take care of them as if you're living there. I'm sure you wouldn't want your children living in a dirty rat infested building.
