Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback on buildings managed by Joserl Gellm indicates generally responsive and reasonable management, with prompt repairs and an attentive live-in superintendent. The buildings tend to be well-maintained with effective pest control and good garbage management. Residents appreciate spacious, renovated units and family-friendly, long-term tenants in some rent-stabilized buildings. Noise from nearby trains may affect some units, and some older buildings require ongoing maintenance. However, requests for repairs can take time, and the landlord can sometimes be difficult to reach. Despite these minor drawbacks, tenants commonly recommend these buildings, valuing the balance of affordability and attentive management.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Great building, easy landlord, sad that prices keep climbing

Pros

Live-in super is very nice and responsive. Landlord is also very responsive and reasonable. I had an electric issue and he had a guy out the next day, immediately fixed. Exterminator comes once a month, I recommend you get your area sprayed because it is a large building. Good sound insulation.

Cons

Depending on where your windows face you may hear some train noise

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Lived here for quite a few years - not the worst

Pros

Lots of tenants who have been living there for a long time. Very family-oriented. Close to the train. Rent stabilized. Rate box-style apartments that are hard to find in Ridgewood. Tons of closet space. Beautiful original floors. Good super as of 2022. Decent rent-stabilized rent. IF YOUR LEASE IS NOT RENT STABILIZED, GET YOUR RENT HISTORY. Many units were destabilized in the 2010s, some likely illegally.

Cons

New people coming in and out after only a year or two. Very hard to get repairs. Minimum done when they finally come in. Building is old and needs continuous work.
