Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for buildings managed by German Caceres reveal significant inconsistencies in management quality. Some properties benefit from attentive superintendents and good sanitation practices, contributing to reasonable rent and functional amenities. However, many renters report severe issues including unresponsiveness from management, pest infestations, poor cleanliness, and negligent maintenance that affects heating, water, and security systems. Noise disturbances and problematic neighbors also recur as complaints. There are allegations of unethical practices such as bribery for repairs or parking. Rent stabilization provides some protection but is not consistently enforced. Overall, management appears unreliable with urgent need for improved maintenance, communication, and respect for tenant rights.

Reviews

Former tenant·5 months ago

Dirty, dangerous, infested, mismanaged, deteriorating, unlawful

Pros

The only pro is that the building is rent regulated and the prices are reasonable.

Cons

Everything. The building superintendant does not give a single care about the property nor does the landlord. Building in total neglect. Anything done here is through cash bribes including having a repair to your apartment even if using your own repair contractors must bribe the super same goes for a parking space, superintendant asked me for $3000 bribe to make a parking "available". There are roaches and mice and rats running throughout the building and around it. elevators dont work half the time, the lobby door is broken and open about 300 dys out of a year. very dirty and filthy, most residents are non english speaking immigrants so they are afraid of complaining for the fear of being evicted.

Advice to the owners

Be. human being and put some care into the property instead of paying fines as tax write offs.

Good Yorkville Building

Pros

Good Super, Great Neighborhood, charming block and good layouts.

Cons

Noise between walls and from upstairs neighbors. Floors and walls are pre-ware standard so noise travels!

Advice to the owners

Sound insulation
