Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of buildings managed by Jose Rivera highlight rent-stabilized units with inclusive utilities and competitive pricing. Tenants appreciate responsive management, efficient garbage handling, and effective pest control. Buildings are generally clean, quiet inside units, and close to parks, though some report thin walls leading to noise disturbances. A few residents note challenges with certain neighbors and occasional harassment issues that management has yet to fully address. Suggestions include improving sound insulation, enhancing communication among tenants, and more proactive intervention in tenant disputes. Overall, management is seen as helpful but could benefit from stronger action on community concerns.

Reviews

Former tenant·14 hours ago

Decent no frills

Pros

The building is rent stabilized with all utilities included. Once you are in your apartment you don’t hear your neighbors unless they are loud going up and down the stairs. I never hear them inside their units.

Cons

Some neighbors are very loud or refuse to follow the lease agreement and have rugs covering 80% of their floor as a result you hear them walking above you every day, moving furniture, even their dog crying through the ceiling.

Former tenant·4 months ago

Constant harassment here

Pros

Safe Clean Quite Accessible Friendly staff Clean maintenance Good price for the unit

Cons

Ants, don’t know where they are coming from. Sometimes packages get sent to the mall office instead of unit. Update: have been harassed by a tenant in 4f for a year, she films me, constantly walks by my windows, never leashes her dog, filmed me in a shirt that was see through. Management has done nothing. If you move here avoid 535 or you’ll get harassed
