Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Daniel Schwimmer reveals a consistent pattern of unresponsiveness and delayed maintenance. Renters often face pest problems, heating issues, and poorly executed repairs due to low-quality contractors. Garbage management is frequently criticized, with trash accumulation noted. While neighbors tend to be appreciated and some apartments offer generous space and good water pressure, management's slow reaction to urgent issues, including harassment complaints, detracts from the living experience. Tenants advise improved responsiveness, skilled maintenance staff, and better garbage and pest control to foster a safer and more pleasant environment.

Reviews

Former tenant·10 minutes ago

The landlord will only fix things if it affects him.

Pros

Nice street and they will clean the hallways once every two months maybe

Cons

No bathroom circulation. Lots of mold growth and impossible to keep it away because no circulation. When I moved in did not have carbon monoxide or smoke detector. Microwave was broken and he wouldn’t fix for awhile. Always trash in the front of building because not enough trash cans

Advice to the owners

More trash and recycling cans

Former tenant·6 months ago

Horrible landlord do not rent

Pros

The neighborhs are all amazing people. Both inside the building and on the block and the next block too.

Cons

Landlord didn't fix anything, apartment and building in general kept leaking. He hired the cheapest possible, poorly skilled labors. They don't know what they are doing and always do terrible jobs. They have to keep coping back over and over again and nothing really ever got fixed. Renovations were all of terrible quality, the apartment was falling apart be the time I moved out.

Advice to the owners

Hire more skilled workers and make the building nicer so good tenants would want to stay.
