Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Jose Portuhondo reveals well-kept common areas and thoughtful apartment layouts with good natural light and virtual doorman systems enhancing security. Cleanliness and pest control receive positive remarks. However, residents consistently note poor owner responsiveness and concerns over increasing neglect in maintenance, especially regarding insulation and noise from thin windows on busy streets. Rent levels are frequently described as high for the value provided. Garbage management is generally reliable, but water pressure could improve. Overall, management is seen as lacking timely communication and attentiveness, suggesting the need for enhanced responsiveness and better upkeep to meet tenant expectations.

Reviews

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

It’s fine, but is getting worse

Pros

Thoughtful layout for a 1 bedroom with a large kitchen and bathroom. Real hardwood floors. Virtual doorman.

Cons

Windows are not well insulated. Some units have better upgrades than other. Super and building management are not super responsive. Common areas used to be clean weekly, but now it’s lucky to be once-a-month. No amenities in the building.

Advice to the owners

Don’t overburden the superintendent and don’t overcharge your tenants.
