Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant feedback for buildings managed by Uriel Castelan generally points to well-maintained common areas, functional elevators, and regular garbage and laundry upkeep. Management is communicative and reasonably responsive, though maintenance requests may require persistence. Pest control remains a recurring issue, particularly with roaches and occasional rodents, despite regular treatments. Noise levels and thin walls can affect comfort, and some renters note issues with water heating and air circulation. Rent stabilization and occasional rent adjustments during tough times are positives. Overall, renters appreciate the building upkeep and management's approach but suggest enhanced pest control and quicker resolution of maintenance concerns.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Nice building, a few issues

Pros

Management is generally communicative. The elevator is functional 99% of the time (honestly a win for a building of this age). The entryways are generally clean and the laundry room is well-kept.

Cons

Roaches seem omnipresent. They're treated regularly but still persist. Plus the walls are thin, we can hear conversations on the other side of the wall.
