Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants renting buildings managed by JOHN ROSANELLI experience a mix of positives and challenges. Many appreciate the excellent, central locations and charming pre-war architecture. However, persistent issues include poor cleanliness, inadequate garbage management, and unreliable heating, sometimes lasting weeks without proper service. Maintenance responsiveness is inconsistent, with some tenants reporting timely repairs while others face unaddressed pest problems and general neglect. Rent hikes often occur with insufficient notice, and compliance with legal obligations like lease renewals and security deposit returns is a concern. Overall, renters should expect good locations but prepare for management shortcomings in upkeep, communication, and building services.

Location! but at what cost?

Pros

The location is unbeatable and it has some pre war charm

Cons

This building is old and they are charging inflated rates for rusty bathroom fixtures and weak heat. This last winter the heat was barely working at all and at one point the building went nearly 2 weeks without heat and hot water. They raised my rent nearly 10% the two years there despite paying in full and on time consistently and they did not give the proper notice as per city law. They also are not compliant to new compost/containerization laws.

Advice to the owners

Stop being greedy, value your good tenants.

Old Building, Great Location

Pros

This building gets great natural light, has beautiful crown moulding and original fireplace and is in a great location

Cons

There's a history of leaks (one neighbor had her ceiling cave in), you can hear everything in the hallway, and there's no trash service.
