Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Buildings managed by Samuel Landau show varied tenant experiences. Positive notes include generally good cleanliness, strong water pressure, rooftop views, and friendly neighbors. Pest control is usually effective, though some issues with rats and occasional roaches are reported. Garbage management and security are inconsistent, with some complaints about trash overflow and break-ins. Heating systems occasionally underperform in colder months. Responsiveness from the landlord is often mixed, with some tenants praising timely maintenance, while others find communication slow or unhelpful, especially concerning serious repairs or rent concerns. Tenant advice frequently stresses better maintenance, improved pest control, and more consistent management responsiveness.

Decent walkup with a good roof

Pros

The roof has a fantastic view of the skyline. Water pressure is solid.

Cons

3-beds have a weird floor plan. The biggest bedrooms have French doors that look nice, but don't filter noise at all. The showers have those weird glass half-walls.

Advice to the owners

Redo the showers without the glass half-walls.

Awful New Build

Pros

Good location and great pest control!

Cons

Black mold in the hallways painted over, lots of trash dumped outside, not cheap enough for the quality.
