Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 16 John Street reveal a mix of pros and cons. Residents enjoy spacious units, particularly the rare five-bedroom configurations, and appreciate the responsive landlord and helpful staff. The presence of a concierge and working elevators are noted benefits. However, issues with cleanliness (especially in hallways), inconsistent heating, and occasional pest sightings have raised concerns. Noise from both street and ongoing construction was mentioned by multiple tenants. While water pressure and garbage management received some praise, persistent high rent increases and maintenance problems detract from overall satisfaction, leading some renters to recommend looking elsewhere.

Pros

Landlord is pretty responsive Super is helpful and friendly Elevators surprisingly worked quite well Butterfly concierge

Cons

Bad water pressure My packages never got stolen but there was no secure area to drop them off Large roaches occasionally Hallways are not regularly cleaned; someone puked in the stairwell over the winter holidays and it sat there for days until I returned and reported it Heating is not great; radiator made weird sounds and temp would go below legal required levels

Advice to the owners

Clean the hallways more regularly!
