Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for buildings managed by Ivan Villarruel reveal a mixed management performance. Several tenants praise spacious apartments, good locations, and responsive management in select buildings, highlighting attentive supers and convenient digital rent payments. However, consistent criticism centers on slow owner responsiveness, poor upkeep of common areas, and unresolved maintenance issues such as broken elevators, leaks, and pest infestations. Rent hikes are frequently described as excessive, contributing to tenant dissatisfaction. Garbage management varies, sometimes causing unpleasant hallway odors. Overall, prospective renters should expect variable management quality, with some well-maintained properties contrasted by others facing delayed repairs and inconsistent tenant care.

Building maintenance issues

Pros

The apartments are beautiful.

Cons

The elevator has been broken since July ‘24, and virtually no effort has been made to fix it. It took months to get water damage fixed, and it wasn’t fixed properly.

Advice to the owners

Fix the elevator

Former tenant·6 months ago

Will hike up your rent a ridiculous amount for an average building

Pros

Pretty good location, the apartments are spacious, and you get pest control once a month.

Cons

The super is an angry man and impossible to understand. The shared terrace is always polluted by someone's trash, and the management hikes the price up to $900 if they feel like it.
