Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback on buildings managed by Jorge Ruiz consistently points to poor building conditions and management. Issues frequently mentioned include uncleanliness, ineffective garbage control, pest infestations (rats, cockroaches, bedbugs), faulty heating, and weak water pressure. Many residents report disruptive neighbors and unsafe environments with drug activities near the properties. Owner responsiveness is notably slow or absent, causing frustrations over delayed repairs and inadequate communication. Frequent complaints about building neglect and management’s focus on profit over tenant welfare discourage recommendation. Overall, prospective renters can expect significant challenges and should be cautious about moving into these buildings.

Reviews

Former tenant·40 minutes ago

Never again will I move into a building like this

Pros

Just the heat

Cons

Its dirty it's stinks the top neighbor thinks it's a park upstairs no respect for your neighbors ,, lack of common courtesy with your neighbors , not everyone comes from a shelter or lives off public assistance , have some type of courtesy when courtesy is given to you

Advice to the owners

You should get rid of all these people who lack human courtesy,, they act like animal and we the ones that pay rent have to endure that's why I stop paying rent I refuse to live in a building where your neighbors think this is a fre for all
