Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for buildings managed by Juan Garcia show a stark contrast in tenant experiences. Some praise cleanliness, maintenance staff, and amenities like gyms, noting timely owner responsiveness and a generally quiet, neighborly environment. However, serious concerns include persistent elevator breakdowns, poor superintendent behavior, lack of security with stolen packages, pest infestations, and issues with water pressure and heating. Garbage management and overall building upkeep are inconsistent, with one review describing the lobby as filthy and smelling unpleasant. Tenants advise better quality materials and more compassionate management. Overall, expect variable management quality with significant room for improvement in tenant relations and building maintenance under Juan Garcia.

Reviews

Former tenant·8 minutes ago

1520 is a dump! Starting with the Superintendent Juan Garcia. He’s a creep!

Pros

The maintenance guys are pleasant. (Jr. & the other guy) Hector (the repair man) is nice. Javier is ok.

Cons

The elevator is always out of order. 1of the 2 has been out for 3 months & counting. Packages are stolen daily. The stairs are filthy. The lobby smells like cat urine. The superintendent (Juan) is disrespectful and nonchalant about repairs. He flirts with me and other tenants. The cameras only work when Juan says so. The water always shuts off.

Advice to the owners

Have compassion for the tenants who actually pay rent. We need a new superintendent!!
