Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback on buildings managed by Joe Fried shows a mixed but generally positive management approach. Tenants appreciate responsive landlords, especially in emergencies and maintenance, and value well-kept, quiet buildings with good amenities like rooftop spaces and in-unit conveniences. Garbage management and pest control are often well-handled. However, some renters noted slow responses to repair requests, cleanliness issues in common areas, and concerns about neighborhood noise and security. A few have expressed dissatisfaction with professionalism and deposit returns. Overall, tenants recommend these buildings for their community feel and facilities but suggest improvements in communication and upkeep.

Reviews

Former tenant·10 months ago

Overall great building

Pros

Amenities are great, rooftop and yard are great outdoor spaces. Washers and dryers in the building, dishwashers and mini-split AC units in each room. Free bike storage in the basement as well. Units are super small but the tall ceilings make everything feel much larger. The hallways were repainted a few months back which was very nice to see.

Cons

Had a leak in the bathroom and it took management weeks to send someone to fix it. They didn’t clean the apartment upon moving in. Decent amount of street noise due to being on a moderately busy street. Hallways, stairs and basement washroom could be kept slightly cleaner. The store on the street level keeps strange people lingering around the building entrance + they are always super loud. The guy that works at the bodega across the street is known to harass the women in the building sometimes too. Management won’t give back the security deposit without providing reason why.

Advice to the owners

Be more professional with reasonable requests from tenants.
