Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant reviews for 29 7 Avenue South highlight a great location as the main advantage. However, issues such as poor management, lack of cleanliness, pest problems, and unresponsive landlordsare prevalent. Tenants reported instances of no heat or hot water in winter, old appliances, plumbing issues, and overall dissatisfaction with the building's condition.

Bad building, great area
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location. Spacious. Two bathrooms
Cons:
Gas leak in the basement and the firefighters said the gas was hooked up to the dryer and was a “fire dungeon.” Building never acknowledged it. Roaches. Doorman clips toenails at front door. Moved into a FILTHY apartment and they wouldn’t pay for a cleaning service. Everything was broken (shower, sink, AC, etc) and didnt get fixed for weeks.
