Reviews

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Best super, well managed building

Pros

The super is professional, timely and very on top of things Entryways and garbage area are cleaned daily Some of the apartments are more updated than others 3 grocery stores nearby Close proximity to trains

Cons

As of summer '22, garden floor tenant built up an interesting amount of trash and junk in the backyard. As of summer '22, a third floor tenant with cats kept his door open constantly and it smelled quite bad frequently

Advice to the owners

Email communication rather than mail - ask for feedback from tenants Transition to online rent payments

No Frills Studio

Pros

The live-in super is the nicest guy and was super responsive to issues over text

Cons

The bathroom had a recurring issue with mold due to poor ventilation --- the super came to clean and apply mold resistant paint but it was like a bandaid

Advice to the owners

Consider allowing loft beds for small units
