    Review Summary for 137 1 Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 137 1 Avenue reveal significant challenges with building management, including poor responsiveness and inadequate maintenance. Tenants report severe pest infestations, notably cockroach and rat problems, coupled with subpar garbage management. Heating issues and plumbing leaks have caused discomfort, alongside weak water pressure. Despite the building’s prime location and abundant natural light, cleanliness and noise levels are frequently criticized. Management's failure to address repair needs promptly worsens living conditions. While neighbors receive mixed feedback, the overall tenant sentiment advises urgent improvements in maintenance, pest control, and management accountability to enhance resident satisfaction and livability.
