Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of properties managed by Sam Charney emphasize excellent cleanliness and garbage management, along with well-maintained amenities that enhance the living experience. Tenants appreciate the friendly and helpful staff, particularly the concierge and custodial teams. However, there are consistent concerns regarding management's responsiveness and problematic heating and cooling systems affecting tenant comfort. Some units are small, and sound insulation could be improved, especially in noisy environments marked by ongoing construction. Overall, renters highlight positive community vibes and valuable amenities, despite the need for better management communication and building temperature controls.

Reviews

Former tenant·just now

Best people, small

Pros

The front staff and the super and custodial staff are absolute gems. Whoever is hiring them has a great eye. They are the best part of living here. The building is brand new, really clean, and conveniently located. The amenities are great, the gym is huge and the classes are fantastic. Nice finishes in the apartment.

Cons

The walls are thin and the glass is not very soundproof, which is tough in an area with CONSTANT construction. The units are also very small. The appliances aren't the best (ventless dyer has a learning curve, dishwasher is kind of wierd). The management is not very responsive and you have to repeatedly email to get a response. One of the worst accountants I've ever seen - constant miscalculation on small things like fees. Weird forced air system - smells from other apartments (including smoke smell when people smoke in their units even though that is not allowed).

‘Luxury’ that’s not quite luxurious

Pros

Staff that are in building are wonderful. Amenity spaces are nice but perhaps not large enough for the size of the building. Some units have very few issues and we were lucky to get one of those

Cons

Switching entire building between heat and ac so units cannot control their own temp is ridiculous in a building this large where higher floors/south or southwest facing units are getting blasted by sun

Advice to the owners

Respond to tenants quickly and stop relying on gimmicky new tech solutions for issues
