Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of buildings managed by Shimshy Braver reflect a mix of highs and lows. Tenants appreciate newer construction with modern appliances, good lighting, laundry facilities, and notable building safety features. Positive remarks include decent heating and water pressure, plus generally quiet surroundings with friendly neighbors. However, recurring issues with cleanliness, pest control (notably roaches), and maintenance delays are common concerns. Thin walls causing noise disturbances and occasional plumbing problems also detract from the experience. While management responsiveness is fair to good at times, some renters feel improvements are needed. Prospective tenants should expect a balance of solid amenities alongside ongoing upkeep challenges.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

It is not the best, but not the worst either

Pros

- Bright and big bedroom with AC - Laundry in the building - Video intercom

Cons

- Roaches and cleanliness - Dishwasher is broken and noisy - Neighbors sometimes are loud

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

New construction, good interiors

Pros

New construction brings new appliances, water systems and safety locks. The building is nice and stands out in the neighborhood. Beautiful terrace with an okay backyard.

Cons

The walls are too thin, can hear people talking in the other rooms. Aur conditioning unit is a big split ac on the ceiling which is meant for cooling and heating. This draws a lot of power and can shoot up your electricity bill.

Advice to the owners

Nothing, all good!!!!
