Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 147 Edgecombe Avenue reveal a mixed experience for tenants. Positives include a desirable location in a friendly neighborhood with quiet surroundings and great neighbors, especially family-oriented residents. Some apartments offer spacious layouts with strong water pressure and reliable heating. However, consistent downsides include poor building cleanliness, neglected common areas like stairwells and lobbies, pest management issues especially mice infestations, and subpar renovations causing functional problems. Maintenance requests and owner responsiveness are often reported as slow or inadequate, leading to frustration. While some tenants approve of management and recommend the building, others highlight these ongoing issues as significant detractors.

Total Joke of a building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Renovated unit, nice quiet neighborhood, friendly neighbors
Cons:
The stairwell and lobby are in total disarray: peeling paint, dirty gum stained floors, worn out stairs, crumbling sheetrock and water leaking from roof. Maintenance requests are almost never fulfilled. Exterminator is supposed to come once a month but never does anymore. Renovation in unit was done cheaply and poorly, for example they bought a fridge that was too big so they just ripped open the sheet rock so it could jam it in, leaving gaping holes in the wall. They also never painted our door. Such a ripoff for the price too.
Advice to owner:
Give your tenants the conditions your tenants deserve or get out of the building management business.
