Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews for buildings managed by Joseph Cohen reflect a mixed management experience. Some residents praise the attentive and friendly doorman and super staff, noting clean and well-maintained common areas, good-sized apartments, and scenic views. However, many reviews report management as unresponsive or slow to address maintenance issues, especially heating malfunctions, water leaks, garbage management, and pest control. Several tenants cite ongoing mold, water damage, and sanitation problems that remain unresolved for long periods. Noise levels vary by location, with some complaining of disturbances from nearby venues or streets. Overall, managing properties with more consistent maintenance and improved communication would significantly enhance tenant satisfaction.

Former tenant·7 months ago

Absent and penny pinching landlord

Pros

Friendly neighbors that look out for each other.

Cons

Building is filthy, super is never around since all the other buildings he looks after are in queens. Nothing ever gets fixed, everything is a battle with landlord. Hot water is sporadic and pressure is very low when it works.
