Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews on buildings managed by Joseph Friedman indicate mixed management quality. Some tenants praise cleanliness, organized garbage management, and available supers who respond promptly to repairs. However, many report persistent pest problems, delayed or ignored maintenance requests, and overall building disrepair. Rent-stabilized buildings especially suffer from slow responsiveness and insufficient investment in upgrades. Noise levels and neighborhood safety vary, with complaints about loud neighbors and unsafe surroundings. Overall, renters highlight frustration with unaddressed issues and poor landlord attentiveness, though a few positive experiences underline the potential for improvement with increased management commitment.
