Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for buildings managed by Jay Jaffe reveal a mixed management experience. Buildings are often well-located and rent stabilized, with spacious apartments and friendly staff. However, maintenance responsiveness is inconsistent, with many tenants reporting delays and a lack of proactive upkeep. Pest control is a common issue, with bedbugs and roaches frequently mentioned, paired with tenants criticizing management’s inadequate response. Garbage management and cleanliness vary, and noise levels can be problematic in some buildings. While some residents appreciate the management team's efforts, overall a stronger focus on maintenance, pest extermination, and tenant communication is needed to enhance living conditions.

Run down but friendly building

Pros

An old, rent stabilized building that's not particularly well maintained but well-situated. Nice big apartments, some period details, etc.

Cons

Not particularly well responsive supers or management company. Have had to follow up for repairs etc multiple times

Advice to the owners

A bit of maintenance, please!
