Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews of buildings managed by Joseph Giaimo frequently highlight poor building upkeep, with common issues including pest infestations (roaches, rodents, bedbugs), unsanitary hallways, and garbage management problems leading to foul odors. Heating and hot water disruptions, sometimes intentional in winter, have been reported repeatedly. Tenants describe the owner as unresponsive at best, and at worst rude and bullying, with threats over lease disputes. While some tenants find the location convenient and appreciate occasional responsive staff, the overall management approach seems dismissive of tenant concerns. Prospective renters should be prepared for maintenance delays, pest control challenges, and unpredictable management interactions.

Reviews

Could be better kept

Pros

Easy rent payment across the street

Cons

Buzzer and intercom does not work for months at a time, so packages are bounced. Packages received often stolen. Mice and rodents everywhere. Dirty hallways.

Advice to the owners

Fix the intercom and get rid of the rodents,

Nice apartment overall, some issues

Pros

Good sunlight Nice management No problems with super, but didn’t really interact with them

Cons

Hallway always smells Once a week I’ll see a cockroach Occasionally, residents with throw out trash all at the same time and it will overflow, but the supper will take care of it within the next 24 hours
