Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for buildings managed by Joe Jacobs reveal a mix of experiences, with many noting serious management challenges. Common issues include poor cleanliness, inadequate garbage management, pest infestations (especially rodents and roaches), and slow or dismissive owner responsiveness. Heating problems and noise complaints pervade several properties, alongside concerns about unsafe or poorly maintained infrastructure. While some buildings, particularly at 1014 Carroll Street and 1772 Bergen Street, receive praise for timely issue resolution and good neighborhood vibes, others suffer from tenant distrust due to manipulative behavior and unaddressed repairs. Prospective renters should expect inconsistent management quality with significant maintenance shortcomings across many of his buildings.

Pros

Location, central air and size of space.

Please do think twice..

Pros

Heating is fine, location is great

Cons

The only good thing about this building is the square footage. But it is falling apart, repairs are shoddy/just don't happen. Cockroaches aren't terrible but are constant, especially in the winter, like at least weekly sighting. Neighbors are fine, but you can hear everything in the building. Landlord responsiveness is non-existant. Can't get maintenance people onsite at convenient times, and for DAYS, even for issues such as leaks and plumbing. I wouldn't recommend this building to anyone
