Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants of buildings managed by Jusuf Velovic frequently praise the convenient location near Columbia University and the responsiveness of the building superintendents. However, several reviews reveal chronic issues such as frequent elevator breakdowns, pest infestations (notably cockroaches), package theft, and poor building security. Management responsiveness is inconsistent; some tenants find owners slow or unhelpful, especially concerning maintenance and safety complaints. Multiple reports highlight safety concerns due to problematic tenants and insufficient management intervention. While apartments can be spacious and quiet with good neighbors, prospective renters should be cautious about safety, building maintenance, and general management quality.
