Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant feedback for buildings managed by Joshua Gotlib reveals a mixed management experience. While several buildings are rent stabilized and offer spacious apartments in good locations, there are recurring concerns over hygiene and maintenance. Common issues include inconsistent heating, pest problems (notably roaches and mice), and poorly maintained stairwells or lobbies. Garbage management and package security are additional weak points. Responsiveness from management and superintendents is perceived as slow or insufficient, though some tenants praise quick maintenance responses when they occur. Noise and disruptive neighbors are also problematic in some buildings. Overall, tenants advise better communication, enhanced cleanliness, and proactive pest control to improve living conditions under Joshua Gotlib’s management.

Advice to the owners

Better communication

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Much room for improvement

Pros

Small building, rent stabilized, kept afloat by the care of a long-term tenant who is very invested in making sure the building is clean and issues are taken care of, but fights an uphill battle with neighbors and management.

Cons

Front doors often left open, occasionally loud neighbors, packages go missing, often dirty lobby area, management not very responsive in a timely fashion.
