Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for JOSE RIVERA's buildings, particularly at 542 East 79 Street, reveals a mixed management experience. Many tenants commend the responsive and friendly maintenance staff and appreciate the quiet, rent-stabilized units in desirable locations. Garbage management and building cleanliness are generally adequate, though some areas like courtyards and alley noise could improve. Concerns include occasional pest issues, noisy neighbors, and delays with security deposits or communication lapses. While some praise timely owner responsiveness, others report dissatisfaction with management’s handling of complaints and repairs. Prospective renters should expect a well-located, fairly managed building but may encounter variability in noise, pest control, and administrative efficiency.

Decent, rent stabilized

Pros

Nice location, quiet area near walkways, parks, and the John Jay Pool. Rent stabilized and also some units are renovated. Generally quiet and friendly neighbors. Responsive and friendly maintenance.

Cons

Older building, some larger repairs (like the front gate) are needed. The heat is HOT in the winter and I have to keep the windows open/AC on but this isn't unusual in pre-war buildings. Occasional roaches. My unit faces the alley between buildings and the garbage people push loud carts down it at 6am three days a week - that is my main complaint. Nearly impossible to sleep through.

Advice to the owners

Get quieter garbage carts.
