Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants consistently praise Jose Rivera's buildings for their safety, quietness, and responsive management. Many reviews note well-maintained common areas and professional staff who address repairs promptly. Garbage management and building cleanliness are generally good, though some feedback suggests hallways and trash areas could receive more attention. Pest control emerges as a significant concern, with multiple reports of roach and bed bug issues, which detracts from the overall experience. Rent stability and strong water pressure are positive aspects. While some tenants appreciate the community atmosphere and quiet neighbors, occasional strict lease policies and extra charges for amenities have been mentioned.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Great and safe building on the UES

Pros

I always felt super safe in this building. The management office was incredibly responsive and if anything needed fixing they’d have someone put there usually within 1 day. The building is quiet and the walls have incredible soundproofing. I didn’t ever hear my neighbors.

Cons

The hallways/stairs could use a bit more attention in terms of keeping them clean.

Advice to the owners

Keep up the great work!

Pros

SW Management owns the whole 78 and 79 street blocks. It's always clean and well maintained. Lots of staff and feels very safe.

Cons

Front desk manager is not very kind. Packages sometimes get stolen from vestibules (I think this is a common thing anymore). If you want to break a lease be prepared to pay. They are zero flexibility on this.
