Review Summary for Antonio Ventura
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Reviews of buildings managed by Antonio Ventura reveal a consistent pattern of unresponsiveness and poor management. While some apartments feature desirable renovations and good locations, tenant concerns highlight filthy conditions, pest infestations, and garbage piling up, often ignored by management. Communication is predominantly email-based with little timely follow-up, and repair requests face delays or superficial fixes.

Nightmare fuel, seriously stop giving this guy money
Former Tenant
Pros:
Some units are nicely renovated.
Cons:
The landlord is terrible—completely unresponsive and doesn’t care at all about the building or the tenants’ safety and well-being. There have been constant issues like pests, ceiling leaks, the front door not locking, garbage piling up, and a gross stairwell. I’m pretty sure someone with a key to the building is stealing packages because they disappear within an hour of being delivered. The landlord knows about all of this and still refuses to fix the front door lock, install basic security, or even give out the super’s contact info for repairs. Rent has to be paid by check, and sometimes he claims he never got it, which means tenants have to pay to cancel the check and mail another one. On top of that, the building is right on 1st Ave, the windows are super thin, so all the noise comes through—and even water when it rains.
Advice to owner:
Do better.

Landlord is the worst I’ve even interacted in my 8 years in the city
Former Tenant
Pros:
The apt itself was in a good condition
Cons:
- Building has a cockroach infestation during the warm months, the landlord is very forgetful when it comes to bringing the exterminator.
- He raised our rent in the middle of the covid-19 pandemic, as a result we decided to leave and now he rented out our apartment for 2/3 of the price.
- He was completely unresponsive with the real estate agent to be unable to reach him as well.
- The building was filthy, probably never been cleaned.
- He failed to provide a landlord recommendation letter, have been asking for over 3 months.
- He gave back the deposit almost three months after moving out, we had to threaten legal action.

renovated but annoying
Former Tenant
Pros:
renovated fixtures, nice area, close to express buss and Q train
Cons:
landlords will get back to you only if they feel like it, won’t solve your issues— just paint over them, and they’ll be condescending the entire time. garbage is kept in the lobby so it can be smelly af
Advice to owner:
answer emails and phone calls, fix the problem the right way the first time instead of taking shortcuts and you wouldn’t have to keep hearing from tenants, rework the garbage situation
