Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Javo Velic portrays a mixed management experience. The properties, often praised for their prime locations and decent maintenance of common areas, benefit from generally responsive management and friendly neighbors. However, renters express frustrations about slow or inconsistent responsiveness to repairs, particularly regarding heating, elevator outages, and pest control. There are also concerns about rent increases, some strained interactions with management—especially with rent-stabilized tenants—and occasional building upkeep issues like water pressure and lingering odors. Tenants advise more compassionate communication and improved maintenance scheduling to enhance overall satisfaction.

Former tenant·2 months ago

Hostile Landlords toward rent stabilised tenants

Pros

Run by a management company so they are pretty quick with responding to small repairs.

Cons

Management is extremely hostile to rent stabilised tenants I had a gas leak in my apartment for 3 months when I moved in. I was told from the previous tenant that the stove was supposed to be replaced before I moved in, when I followed up with management they acted like they. didn't know what I was talking about. I smelled gas and called them and they sent a plumber who said nothing was wrong. A few months later I really smelled gas and got scared so I called Con ED. There was a gas leak from the stove. Management and my super were both upset with me and kept asking why I didn't call them first and asked me to pay for the stove to be replaced. My gas bill went down. $30 after that. There was $30 worth of gas leaking into my apartment for 3 months and management was mad at me. They also sent a letter trying to scare me into vacating the apartment due to small sublet fees they had been charging without notifying us. The super was constantly watching me and trying to find ways to get me kicked out. They really wanted to renovate and raise the rent.
