Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by EDWIN SHIRAZ reveals consistent issues with management responsiveness and maintenance. Many residents report pest infestations, cleanliness problems, and poorly managed garbage disposal. Heating is often unreliable or delayed in activation during winter months. Security concerns arise due to unsecured entrances and malfunctioning intercoms. While some appreciate affordable rents and convenient locations, there is a strong consensus that maintenance requests are frequently ignored, leading to deteriorating living conditions. Improvements in communication, timely repairs, pest control, and building security would significantly enhance tenant satisfaction across properties overseen by this landlord.

Affordable but unresponsive

Pros

Good, affordable place to live when things work

Cons

Management is super unresponsive, so you can go months-years without repairs. Definitely not worth the hassle.

Terrible Management and Building

Pros

Nothing...I hated everything about this place.

Cons

There were cockroaches in the unit. The landlord or super never responded to any concerns. Heat was turned on way past when it should have been turned on (in december). Terrible experience.
