Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent renter feedback for buildings managed by Sam Kooris shows a mixed management performance. Some tenants appreciate responsive landlords and decent-sized apartments, highlighting friendliness and occasional upkeep improvements. However, many reviews point to significant issues: inconsistent responsiveness, slow maintenance, pest infestations, poor heat during winter, garbage management problems, and security concerns like package theft and noisy neighbors. Multiple properties face challenges with cleanliness and building infrastructure, and some complain about unaddressed noise and disruptive tenants. Overall, renters should expect variable management quality with pressing needs for better communication, maintenance responsiveness, pest control, and enhanced building security under this landlord.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Normal place to live

Pros

Nice place, landlord and handyman are responsive, some bugs but a normal amount like I saw maybe 1 cockroach every month

Cons

The tenant on the first floor stinks up the stairwell and has dogs that bark. Apparently they tried to evict him but it didn’t work?? Idk how that works

Former tenant·4 months ago

Other side of the tracks

Pros

Close to the train, a handful of great restaurants nearby, diverse and vibrant neighborhood on a good day

Cons

Noisy neighbors, Package stealing, Smoking on the hallways, no security, and folks don't pick up after their dogs, garbage always a mess, and slow response to issues with maintenance and pest control.

Advice to the owners

Security necessary, more staff for cleaning, and responsiveness must be improved
