    Review Summary for 255 Ft Washington Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 255 Ft Washington Avenue highlight mixed feedback. Tenants appreciate the spacious units, convenient laundry facilities, and quiet environment. However, concerns arise regarding unresponsive management, persistent pest problems, delayed repairs, and inadequate security measures leading to package thefts. Suggestions include improving owner responsiveness, enhancing pest control measures, addressing maintenance issues promptly, and implementing better security protocols. Despite these drawbacks, the building's proximity to public transport and overall cleanliness make it a moderately attractive option, subject to improvements in management efficiency and tenant satisfaction.

    Big space but terriable super
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    - Big space for relatively low price (2023-2024)
    Cons:
    - Horrible super
    * I spent 15min in person, after many unanswered calls/texts, convincing him to fix a simple cabinet door. But he didn't until the door almost fell on him while I recorded it.
    * There's almost always one washer or dryer that's not working

    - Predatory agents
    * It was my first time renting and I wasn't fully told the consequences of being on a lease with random people. Though it's my fault ultimately (18 at the time), I tried asking about it multiple times but I felt pressured to sign.
    Advice to owner:
    Hire less predatory agents and do subleases for rooms being ocuppied by strangers. Fire the current Super and get someone more competant. If he hadn't been there and almost got hit by the cabinet, that could've been me. And because I had security cameras, you'd have a lawsuit on your desk
