1-star review of Josefa by Urbanista

Antonio P. on Google Maps · May 2026

Translation Translated from Spanish · Show original

I've been a resident for 1.5 years and, while the first few months were acceptable, the situation over the last few months has been frankly poor.

In my case, the most serious problem is exhaust fumes from the backup generator leaking into the units. The smell is noticeable even with the windows and doors closed, and trying to air the place out makes it immediately worse. I have documented PM2.5 levels of 71 µg/m³ inside my unit — almost 5 times the WHO recommended limit — which represents a real health risk to residents.

On top of that:
- Lifts frequently out of service, forcing you to climb the last 4 floors on foot to reach the amenities
- Internet service is repeatedly poor
- Management gives no response of any kind to the formal complaints submitted

Finally, an important warning for anyone considering moving in: the contract has a minimum term of 1 year and the early-exit penalty is equivalent to 4 months' rent.

Llevo 1.5 años como residente y, si bien los primeros meses fueron aceptables, la situación durante los últimos meses ha sido francamente deficiente.

En mi caso, el problema más grave es la filtración de gases de escape del generador auxiliar al interior de las unidades. El olor es perceptible incluso con ventanas y puertas cerradas, y al intentar ventilar la situación empeora de forma inmediata. He documentado niveles de PM2.5 de 71 µg/m³ en el interior de mi unidad — casi 5 veces el límite recomendado por la OMS — lo que representa un riesgo real para la salud de los residentes.

A esto se suma:
- Elevadores frecuentemente fuera de servicio, obligando a subir a pie los últimos 4 pisos para acceder a las amenidades
- Servicio de internet es deficiente de forma recurrente
- Una administración que no da ningún tipo de respuesta ante las quejas formales presentadas

Finalmente, un aviso importante para quien esté considerando mudarse: el contrato tiene una duración mínima de 1 año y la penalización por salida anticipada equivale a 4 meses de renta.

    Glad you're sharing this video. Just one clarification: this event was not organised by management, but by neighbours in the tower who coordinated to make it happen.

    Glad you're sharing this video. Just one clarification: this event was not organised by management, but by neighbours in the tower who coordinated to make it happen. In fact, they are now trying to impose a $13,500 fine on one of the neighbours involved, even though the event was visible to everyone, was filmed by management themselves and later used for promotion. It would be good to clarify what the official position is: was the event something the community enjoyed and that was even promoted on social media, or was it conduct that warrants a financial penalty? Could you explain to us how it is justified to promote an event on social media and at the same time punish the person who made it possible? That opens up another conversation that you probably don't want to have publicly either. By the way, I appear in this video and was never asked for consent for my image to be used in a promotional post.

    The worst — all appearances. Once you're in, they charge you for the amenities.

    The worst — all appearances. Once you're in, they charge you for the amenities, management is rubbish, they fine you for breathing. Seriously, don't be fooled, there are better places, and I'm telling you as someone who lived there a good while. Ugh.
