Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Reviews for properties managed by David Sani reveal mixed experiences among tenants. Many appreciate the responsive maintenance teams and generally clean amenities. However, issues such as inconsistent heating, noise disturbances, and slow owner responsiveness frequently arise as concerns. Tenants value the friendly staff but often feel that management could be more communicative and accommodating, especially regarding repair delays and rent increases. While several residents recommend the buildings for their amenities and locations, recurring complaints about management effectiveness suggest potential improvements are needed for an overall better tenant experience.

Reviews

Former tenant·just now

not bad but not good

Pros

- unit faced inside of apartment so super quiet - built in speakers - large studio units

Cons

- barking dogs - hallways can be vacuumed more - amenities are really well kept / cleaned

Former tenant·1 month ago

Decent mid range luxury, management could be better

Pros

Amazing rooftop, huge, great views. Decent small-ish gym and a pool. V quiet between apts - never hear the neighbors. Great neighborhood, close to Fort Greene Park, Brooklyn Bridge Park, multiple subway lines. Don’t understand the reviews that say dat from transit - the F, 2/3,4/5, Q, A/C are ALL within 10 mins walk! Nice building staff.

Cons

Really the only con is the mgmt/owners who are slow to respond and inflexible. The building staff are all lovely.

Advice to the owners

Be nicer to the tenants! Happy tenants will renew and recommend to others.
