Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback about Joseph Pistilli's buildings reveals a pattern of poor management and maintenance issues. Many renters report unresponsiveness, pest infestations (rats, mice, roaches, bedbugs), heating problems, and structural disrepair. Garbage management and cleanliness are frequently criticized. While some buildings have attentive supers and good neighbors, management often ignores serious complaints and delays repairs. Rent stabilization is present in several buildings, yet tenants feel neglected and face exploitative rent hikes. Exceptional location and decent building size are positive notes amidst widespread dissatisfaction with landlord communication and building upkeep. Prospective renters should anticipate ongoing challenges with infrastructure and management responsiveness.

Great area, bad building, bad management

Pros

The neighborhood doesn't get much better than this.

Cons

It's the worst building on the block. Management isn't great.

Advice to the owners

If you want to get into West Village for under $4k/mo, you can here -- but you're going to be making compromises elsewhere.

Before you rent look elsewhere

Pros

The building was a A decade ago, the building exuded an aesthetically pleasing ambiance, characterized by its serene atmosphere, immaculate cleanliness, and harmonious relationships with its neighboring structures. aesthetically pleasing, characterized by its tranquility, cleanliness, and harmonious relationships with its neighbors.

Cons

Residents are compelled to request basic amenities such as hot water and heating. This situation remains consistent year after year. The superintendent’s laziness is evident, and when he undertakes tasks, the quality is so subpar that additional assistance is required.

Advice to the owners

Implement new management and ensure the proper maintenance of the buildings. These structures are valuable assets, but they have been neglected.
