Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews for buildings managed by JOSEPH WEISS reveal a mix of positive and challenging experiences. While buildings are generally clean and have well-managed garbage disposal, heating systems and pest control receive criticism, with some apartments being cold and pest issues reported. Responsiveness from management varies significantly, with some tenants praising quick replies, while others find communication slow or even snarky and disrespectful. Maintenance issues tend to be prolonged, and there are concerns about transparency, especially regarding utility costs and deposit returns. Overall, expect decent building upkeep but prepare for potential frustrations with management responsiveness and building infrastructure.

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
