Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews for buildings managed by Jose Rivera illustrate a mixed experience. The buildings benefit from great locations and spacious apartments with generally good natural light and neighbors. However, management responsiveness is often criticized as slow or unhelpful, especially for maintenance issues such as pest control and repairs. Cleanliness, particularly in common areas, and garbage management receive varied feedback, with concerns about rodents and security lapses like stolen mail. Construction work is noted as disruptive and sometimes hazardous. While some tenants approve of the building and recommend staying, many suggest urgent renovations and improved communication to enhance overall living conditions.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Ok Mediocre Apt

Pros

Not many issues with actual apartment space.

Cons

If any problems arise hard to get in touch with landlord. Often performing construction in hallway that is hazardous.

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

just don't expect much

Pros

location was great (plus the view from street facing windows and the roof)

Cons

Always dirty, rodents in lower apartments, mail CONSTANTLY gets stolen, landlord wouldn't fix things that were broken even when we first moved in without some complaints. Management & maintenance had some good people but in general the building should have been kept up WAY better considering the price of units.

Advice to the owners

get better locks for the two main front doors, so that its not super easy to break into the building with a credit card and steal packages
