Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant feedback for buildings managed by SHAMCO MANAGEMENT CORP reveals mixed experiences. Residents note responsiveness and helpfulness from supers and recognize efforts at cleanliness and upkeep in certain locations. However, persistent issues with pest control—particularly rodents and roaches—remain a recurrent complaint, often requiring tenant intervention. Heating and hot water inconsistencies are frequent concerns, with some units suffering prolonged outages. Garbage management varies, with occasional trash overflow affecting cleanliness. Residents also report occasional neglect from management with delays in maintenance and poor communication. While some buildings maintain a positive community atmosphere and rent stabilization benefits, overall management responsiveness is uneven, suggesting room for improvement to address tenant needs consistently.

Major rat problem!

Pros

Neighbors are nice for the most part Building isn’t too loud

Cons

Heat only works sometimes Hot water never gets truly hot This building has a major rat/mouse problem. It’s right next door to a tiny park/outside area and we think that’s where they enter from. Building did absolutely nothing to address the issue. The lady downstairs from us had to call 311 before anything was done. The people on the first and second floor still have mice issues and it’s like the building doesn’t care. Building also has an ant problem

Inadequate heat and hot water for a few years now

Pros

Great amount of space for what you're paying. It's a wonderful neighborhood with friendly neighbors. Certainly not Shamco's doing though.

Cons

Consistently for several years in a row there has been no or very little heat building-wide. 311 has been very slow to address these concerns. It will be 20-30 degrees out during the winter and the heat will come on maybe 30 minutes twice a day. They have installed anti-scald devices on many showers (so the water is barely hot), and when I've complained, I've been belittled and told the water is "good enough." They're just incredibly lazy and do not care at all about tenants.
