Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants renting buildings managed by Sam Shamovilian experience a mix of positive and negative aspects. Properties benefit from prime locations and responsive owner communication in some cases, with tenants appreciating garbage management and heating quality. However, several reviews highlight persistent issues such as pest infestations, noise disturbances, and maintenance delays. Management responsiveness varies significantly, with complaints about slow or inadequate handling of problems, particularly in one building plagued by rodents and appliance failures. Renters advise improvements in maintenance and customer service systems. Overall, prospective tenants should expect a varied experience, with management attentive in some buildings but needing stronger oversight and upgrades in others.
