Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews highlight that buildings managed by SHINWA REAL ESTATE CO., LTD have mixed feedback. While some appreciate the fantastic locations and friendly neighbors, there are consistent complaints about unresponsive management, particularly centered around property manager Sedrick Jean-Baptiste. Issues such as prolonged lack of hot water, inadequate communication, and delayed promises of compensation for inconveniences are prevalent. Tenants emphasize the need for more attentive and responsible management that prioritizes tenant needs over profits. Despite some positive aspects, improvements in communication and service quality are crucial for enhancing overall resident satisfaction and building reputation.

Worst Rental Experience

Pros

Location is fantastic

Cons

Utility bill sky high 600+ (never below $300 even without using AC), horrible unresponsive management, insulation terrible, thin walls (crazy noisy), maintenance requests go ignored, hot water issues, AC floods and doesn’t work, sediment in water / brown tinted hot water, trash disposal difficult, terrible appliances (oven didn’t work), cigarette and pot smoke flow into the unit, and more!

Advice to the owners

At a minimum respond to your tenants and make repairs as needed
