Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.
Recent reviews of buildings managed by Jose Mendez, particularly at 157 Suffolk Street, highlight a mix of strengths and areas needing improvement. Tenants appreciate the clean and updated apartments, good heat and water pressure, and a generally safe location with friendly neighbors. Garbage management is mostly efficient, and pest control efforts show some effectiveness despite occasional rat and insect sightings. However, management responsiveness is often criticized as slow or unresponsive, particularly regarding maintenance and package theft issues. Laundry facilities and common areas like hallways are frequently described as run down or dirty. Overall, expect well-located, decent apartments but with room for better communication and upkeep.
