Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent renter feedback for buildings managed by Shaye Falkowitz reveals mixed experiences. While some tenants appreciate timely management responses and find the apartments well-priced with good water pressure and heating, there are recurring concerns about cleanliness, mold, and pest issues. Garbage management and overall upkeep receive varied ratings, and some renters report problems with illegal room setups and rent hikes during the pandemic. Noise can be an issue, especially near nightlife spots. Some tenants describe landlords as unprofessional or unresponsive, though others note satisfactory interactions. Prospective renters should expect a building with potential maintenance challenges but occasional responsive management.

Scammy Rude Landlords

Pros

The space itself is lovely with a nice backyard and updated appliances.

Cons

However, the bedrooms are small, and include an ILLEGAL fourth bedroom with no window. They way overcharge, and raised the rent at the height of the pandemic in 2020.

Advice to the owners

Get some morals.
