Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for Joseph Gargano's Brooklyn buildings indicates well-maintained properties with cleanliness and amenities like gyms, rooftop spaces, and heated sidewalks being strong points. Garbage management and pest control are consistently well regarded. However, renters frequently cite poor owner responsiveness and rude or unprofessional management interactions, with some noting slow repairs to laundry and gym equipment. Rising rents without proportional upgrades and lack of convenient payment options cause dissatisfaction. Security and neighborhood safety concerns near some buildings also affect the overall living experience. Prospective tenants should expect clean, amenitized buildings but potential challenges with management communication and area safety.

Reviews

Former tenant·11 hours ago

Not worth what they’re trying to charge

Pros

This is a well maintained building. Amenities are okay.

Cons

The washing machines do not clean as well as front loading machines so the in building laundry will be useless if you have high cleanliness standards. This building has increased rent ridiculous amounts in the past year, pushing longterm residents out. But here’s the thing: usually the neighborhood where a building is located should affect the value of the rent. Here you will find syringes on your walks, and people using hard drugs at all times of the day. I have heard gunshots while walking nearby.

Advice to the owners

Lower your rent prices, and stop price gouging. Get better washing machines. Make the roof 24 hours so people can look at the night sky in relative safety.
