Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants of YOSEF EMERGI's buildings often find that management demonstrates varying responsiveness, from timely to dismissive, especially on maintenance and pest control issues. While many praise clean and well-maintained buildings with good heating, reliable water pressure, and friendly neighbors, there are recurrent problems with pest infestations (notably rodents and roaches) and slow or superficial repairs. Garbage management is inconsistent across properties, and noise levels can be problematic due to poor insulation or street activity. Some renters appreciate the locations and amenities like laundry and yard spaces, but a few mention a decline in upkeep and communication over time. Overall, expect a mix of decent service with room for improvement in proactive maintenance and pest control.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Ok, could have been great

Pros

Good location, laundry in basement, small shared backyard, fair price

Cons

The landlord seemed to stop caring at some point. They stopped doing monthly pest control and the roach problem got very bad. They totally stopped upkeep on the backyard, the roof became an unusable graveyard of broken furniture, the handymen did slapdash work that amounted to quick fixes that never solved the problem. Management also wasn’t great at communicating.

About right, generally OK, but could be better

Pros

Plenty of space, good natural light at times, lots of closet space and storage, good general visual essence, maintenance responsive, chill management (thus far), close to train, few people in actual building so trust levels are good, street noise levels are fine

Cons

Dirty, not cleaned super well, roaches when first moved in. Maintenance responsive but pest control scary (dripping chemicals when sprayed). Much better off using Advion purchased by self, super creaky which is loud for and from neighbors, always smells like pee outside and a lot of trash gets blown onto front of sidewalk. Gas meter is never read correctly so it feels like we always get charged more than we should, owners very dismissive of CO issues with oven
