Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Manuel Caban reveals a mixed experience with property management. While residents value the large, rent-stabilized apartments and appreciate friendly neighbors and quiet surroundings, many express frustration with poor building maintenance, pest infestations, and unsatisfactory repair responses. A recurring complaint is the lack of responsiveness from both the landlord and building superintendent, who often fail to address issues promptly or thoroughly. Garbage management shows some organization, but overall cleanliness and upkeep are below expectations. Tenants advise improving communication and maintenance efforts, especially regarding pest control and timely repairs, to enhance living conditions.

Reviews

Former tenant·1 hour ago

It could be better

Pros

Love the neighborhood, a large portion of the neighbors are fantastic and it feels like a small community.

Cons

The super of the building is non-responsive most of the time and does not follow up with calls or notices to inspect problems in the unit. There is a couple that live in one of the units that bring suspicious crowds into the building and are consistently fighting.

Advice to the owners

get a new super, unfortunately not much can be done with the couple in that said unit.

Beautiful apartment but non-responsive landlord and super

Pros

Large apartments, excellent natural lighting. On a quiet street so little NYC noise. Beautiful courtyard maintained by a tenant who is a landscaper.

Cons

The landlord is fine to deal with … until you have actual issues. Ongoing water damage? It will need to be fixed several times over (sometimes over the course of years). Pest issues? He will gaslight you that nobody else is having this issue. This is especially true if you have lived there for awhile, because the apartments are rent stabilized and by having you vacate, he can bring the apartment cost up to market value. On top of that, the super is non-responsive and it takes multiple tries to get him to do anything, and often he will leave a job half done and doesn’t clean up the mess he made.
