    Review Summary for 416 Gates Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 416 Gates Avenue praise the building's cleanliness, well-organized garbage management, and friendly neighbors. However, there are consistent complaints about poor owner responsiveness, especially from the management company, leading to delayed maintenance requests. Concerns about water pressure and noise levels have been raised. Despite some positives like a lovely rooftop and ample sunlight, the building's drawbacks include thin walls, drafty windows, and unsatisfactory fixtures. Improvement suggestions emphasize the need for better communication and management responsiveness to enhance the overall living experience.

    it's ok, but expensive for what it is
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Generally nice layouts, lovely rooftop, lots of sunlight with the windows, package room is nicely organized, the self-park garage is very useful and the spot sizes are ample, nice high ceilings
    Cons:
    the key function doesn't always work, management almost never responds and if they do it's weeks later, walls are thin, there is a consistent draft from the windows (especially feeling it now as the winter approaches), the fixtures are not that great (especially the sinks and the shower). when i moved in (discussed/planned the day & time with the super well before, etc), the apartment was unkempt and not ready.
    Advice to owner:
    better management response

    Lack of Communication
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    A 3 year old building occupied by professionals, most tenants are respectful except for a few who don't communicate or share information.

    Since the building is so new it doesn't need a lot of TLC, but occasionally we need some help and B Manage is the worst in communication.
    Cons:
    B Manage is terrible at communicating,; whenever we email them for something we do not hear back at all. All apartments are still getting brown water every month and they ignore our requests to fix the issue. Their response is the brown water coming from nearby construction sites but all constructions stopped many months ago. 311 gives us the same answers so nothing is taken care of
    Advice to owner:
    Respond to our emails and take action to fix the brown water

    Enjoyed living in this building.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The building was clean, and neighbors were friendly.
    Cons:
    Did not enjoy the small gym, and the study space on the cellar level did not have any signal for internet.

    Worst Manager/Management Company I've Experienced
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Large, well-designed units and friendly neighbors.
    Cons:
    The manager, Sam Silber, is extremely unresponsive and rude. It's almost impossible to get help with even the most minor maintenance requests, which has made living at 420 Gates very unpleasant. The company, B Manage (bmanage.com) is equally unhelpful.
    Advice to owner:
    Change the management company asap
