Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant feedback on buildings managed by Sylvia Hakim reveals mixed experiences. Positives include good locations, decent apartment sizes, and some responsiveness to pest control and maintenance, particularly when issues are promptly addressed. However, many reviews express frustration with persistent pest infestations, unclean common areas, heating problems, noise, and lack of effective garbage management. A recurring complaint is slow or insufficient owner responsiveness and inadequate proactive building upkeep, with some tenants reporting structural issues and safety concerns. While some tenants appreciate the community and amenities, others advise more attentive and thorough management and improved facility maintenance to enhance tenant satisfaction.

Perfect Starter Apartment

Pros

Great building that is well kept.

Cons

Had a roach problem when I first moved in, they were very good about getting traps, pest control exterminating, and being responsive and we were able to get rid of the problem quickly!
