Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

John Ilibassi's buildings exhibit a wide variation in management quality. Many tenants praise responsive superintendents and generally clean, well-maintained buildings with strong pest control efforts in some locations. However, issues are frequent, including persistent pest problems (cockroaches and occasional mice), inconsistent heat and water pressure, unresponsiveness by certain staff, and inadequate garbage management in some buildings. Noise levels and neighbor quality vary considerably. Several reviews cite unaddressed maintenance and hygiene shortcomings, particularly in older buildings or those with financial constraints. Rent increases and package theft are notable concerns. Overall, management is often well-intentioned but inconsistent and sometimes ineffective, requiring improved communication and upkeep.

Reviews

Former tenant·4 months ago

Great experience over last 2 years

Pros

Wonderful area and responsive management. No complaints over 2 years. Saw a total of one bug over that whole time, have not seen a rat in a year.

Cons

Very small apartment.

Former tenant·5 months ago

Good value for the area

Pros

Very clean, no bugs, very responsive super, updated finishes in the kitchen, pet friendly to cats unofficially

Cons

Only thing I didn't like is that even though the surrounding area is really nice with stuyvesant park, there would sometimes be harmless, unhoused people who would loiter on the stoop at night. Never felt unsafe, but as a woman not ideal.
