Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews highlight that buildings managed by JOSEPH WEISS are a mix of positives and negatives. Tenants appreciate the cleanliness and convenient amenities like in-unit laundry. However, there are concerns about unresponsive management, poor construction quality leading to maintenance issues, and high utility costs. The landlords' attitude towards tenants and management's lack of responsiveness have been highlighted as significant drawbacks. Despite some positive aspects like good neighbors and location, potential renters are advised to be cautious about the management style and building quality before choosing to live in one of these properties.

Convenient Amenities, Hidden Costs

Pros

• The building is clean and well-maintained. • In-unit dishwasher and laundry facilities are very convenient.

Cons

• Although the unit faces south, a nearby luxury building blocks most of the sunlight. • Heating is electric via the AC system, which makes the apartment cold in winter. • Hot water runs out quickly since it’s electrically heated. • Electricity bills can reach around $1,000 per month during colder seasons, making overall living costs very high.

Advice to the owners

Please improve the heating and hot water system, and consider being more transparent about utility costs
