Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of buildings managed by Benny Caiola reveal generally spacious units with good natural light and well-maintained common areas. Tenants appreciate the responsive and professional management, often described as personal and family-based, with quick attention to repairs such as heating and A/C. Cleanliness and pest control are usually well handled. However, some complaints center around noise from nearby traffic and occasional package theft due to an outdated intercom system.

Overall, tenants find the management approachable and the buildings comfortable despite some occasional challenges.

Great apartments for the price

Pros

Spacious units for the price; responsive and personal family based landlords who are based out of the lobby; generally well maintained with occasional issues; smaller building with friendly neighbors; no idea where the heat is coming from, but our 2nd floor apartment has never been below 70 degrees so far in the winter despite multiple very cold days and not turning on the PTAC unit heat. Management also replaced our A/C in the summer due to it not cooling the unit and no problems after that.

Cons

Noise from the bridge; laundry in building is nice amenity but the actual washers/dryers (especially the dryers) aren’t the best and often dont dry despite running multiple times

Advice to the owners

None really. Thanks!

review from 2+ yr tenant, loved living here overall

Pros

- very soundproof walls - responsive management - building kept very clean - never seen bugs in-unit (except for the occasional fly)

Cons

- packages occasionally stolen (old intercom system instead of app etc, so people often let in strangers) - traffic noise from the bridge ramp exit and nearby hospitals
