    Review Summary for 19 Kenmare Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 19 Kenmare Street highlight its prime location and generally clean hallways as key advantages. Tenants appreciate friendly neighbors and responsive management, praising the current superintendent's helpfulness. However, significant issues persist with heating, old and unreliable plumbing, and occasional pest problems. Some units suffer from poor insulation leading to cold and noise intrusion. Delays in addressing maintenance, especially heating and hot water outages, have frustrated several renters. Suggestions include fixing aging pipes, upgrading windows, and improving heating reliability. Despite drawbacks, many recommend the building for its location and potential if management improves responsiveness and infrastructure.

    unresponsive landlord, old pipes caused so many issues
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Nice location, good lighting as unit was south facing, relatively clean hallways, friendly neighbors, only the occasional cockroach
    Cons:
    The front office/property manager that is supposed to help was never ever there. His name was "Eric" but I swear it was an imaginary employee that they used to blame everything on. The heat and hot water was broken for over a month total in the years I lived there and the landlord took more than a week to fix it each time. It got so bad that rhe city sent multiple representatives to inform us of our rights. Our upstairs neighbor's toilet "overflowed" one day and feces water rained through our light fixture. It took our landlord over 48 hours to clean up the mess. In sum, these pipes are geriatric and the landlord was unable or unwilling to fix it.
    Advice to owner:
    Fix the pipes and hot water
