    Review Summary for 169 9 Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 169 9 Avenue highlight its desirable location and generally pleasant neighbors, creating a safe and quiet living environment. The building has a quaint, older charm with spacious units and adequate pest control. However, tenants report inconsistent heating during winter and occasional water pressure issues. Garbage management is mostly satisfactory, but maintenance concerns persist, notably slow owner responsiveness and repeated unresolved repairs, including structural leaks and security lapses. Residents advise that management improve communication and hire professional repair services. While some appreciate the building's character and location, others caution about maintenance delays and emphasize the need for proactive management to enhance livability.

    Leaky Ceiling, Very Slow Management Response
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    I loved the location of the building! Fairly quiet, neighbors are nice, feels safe.
    Cons:
    The radiator in the apartment above mine leaked so much that a giant chunk of my bedroom ceiling collapsed - it took a full month of following up and pestering the landlord to get them to fix it. They refused to send an actual plumber and would only send the super, which is why it kept happening again and again.
    Advice to owner:
    hire professionals for repairs and listen to your tenants
