    Review Summary for 653 9 Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews indicate a mixed experience at 653 9th Avenue. Tenants appreciate in-unit laundry and the proximity to transportation. However, issues with unresponsive management, poor cleanliness, and pest control have been reported. Maintenance delays and small living spaces are additional concerns. While the location is convenient, improvements in management responsiveness and building upkeep are advised. Some recommend the building but stress the need for better management attention to tenant concerns.

    Beware of unresponsive super
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    There is in-unit laundry. We arrived into the unit with a new coat of paint.
    Cons:
    Super is very unresponsive and disrespectful of your time — will schedule something early in the morning only to not show up. Trash can pile up in the small holding area, and cleaning of common areas is infrequent. We got our security deposit back, but had to do multiple calls with the management company until we got to talk to the person responsible (owner of the company).

    Old building, so there has been leaks when raining and sometimes pests/rodents. Landlord has contracted pest control company, which is effective, but we’ve found it easier to set up our own rat traps. Rooms are very small.
