Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews of buildings managed by Sam Klein often cite persistent issues with pest infestations, poor cleanliness, and inadequate maintenance, including broken heat and hot water systems. Many express frustration with unresponsive management and slow or non-existent repairs, leading to distrust and dissatisfaction. While some properties have a responsive superintendent and reasonable location, overall complaints highlight neglected building upkeep, security concerns like frequent package theft, and ineffective garbage management. A few buildings, particularly newer ones, receive praise for cleanliness and attentive staff, but these are exceptions. Prospective renters should expect inconsistent management quality and ongoing infrastructure challenges.
