Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for buildings managed by Eric Samson reveal pervasive challenges. Common complaints include poor cleanliness, ineffective garbage management, lack of heating, pest infestations, and unsafe environments marked by drug use and vandalism. Many renters report unresponsive or unaccountable management and superintendents, with minimal efforts to address mold, security, and maintenance issues. Noise levels and problematic neighbors further diminish living conditions. Despite some convenient locations, tenants generally discourage renting in these buildings without significant improvements. Overall, potential renters should expect neglected maintenance, poor management responsiveness, and safety concerns under Eric Samson’s stewardship.

Advice to the owners

DO BETTER WITH TAKING CARE OF THE BUILDING AND THE TENANTS THAT’S PUTTING MONEY IN YOUR POCKET. YOU LITERALLY DOES NOTHING AND THE LANDLORD THAT YOU HAVE, DOES NOTHING! WE LITERALLY HAVE TO RUN YOU GUYS DOWN TO FIX SOMETHING IN THE APARTMENT, WHICH SHOULDN’T BE. YOU LITERALLY HAVE US LIVING IN A MOLD INFECTIOUS BUILDING AND YOU KEEP DOING HALF ASS JOBS AND THE MOLD COMES BACK EVERY SINGLE YEAR! IT’S DISGUSTING!! THIS WHOLE DAMN BUILDING IS DISGUSTING!
