Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants of buildings managed by Sabah Shemel generally experience well-maintained, clean apartments with good natural light and spacious layouts. The staff, especially doormen and supers, are often described as friendly and helpful, enhancing resident satisfaction. Management is mostly responsive, though some tenants report slower communication or minimal maintenance in certain cases. Garbage management and pest control are typically handled well, but occasional issues with noise, thin walls, and limited ventilation have been noted. While many tenants recommend these buildings for their overall quality and location, a few express concerns about noise levels and building infrastructure improvements, urging more attentive landlord care.

Decent visit for short term

Pros

It’s a nice apartment with big windows. I had no problems. The doorman on the weekends are so sweet

Cons

There are 2 doorman. One is so sweet (the weekend, young guy). The other doorman (middle aged guy) is not so much. I was asking for a smoking area because I know that it’s a smoke free apartment and he made me uncomfortable and implied that if I smoke I’ll get a bad review. Kinda threatening. I don’t wanna smoke in the apartment or break rules, that’s why I’m asking him but he was not helpful at all.
