Shamco Management review

Pros

People are mostly quiet, the super is mostly responsive, the heat always works, there is lots of natural light in the building, the gym is pretty good.

Cons

The dryers never work, the location is mid (not a lot of cafes, restaurants directly nearby), rent increased by 9% year to year, you have to pay to lock your bike inside.

Advice to the owners

Reduce the increase in cost year to year since nothing improved in that time. Please fix the dryers.
