Review Summary for 219 13 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenants describe 219 13 STREET as a building plagued with management issues. The building suffers from inadequate heat, hot water, and gas, along with poor pest control and garbage management. Tenant complaints of frequent maintenance delays, unresponsive management, and negligent landlords are recurrent. Despite some positives like quiet neighbors and cleanliness, the general sentiment warns prospective renters to avoid this property due to ongoing problems and unethical practices by the owner. Major concerns include rent increases, safety hazards like mold and rodents, and a lack of basic amenities. A change in ownership and management is urgently recommended.

do not live here
Former Tenant
Pros:
some lovely neighbors
Cons:
we lose heat for days at a time in the winter simply because they don't maintain the boiler; we went without cooking gas for SIX MONTHS in 2022 (it was horrible); roaches; the trash area is always too full which attracts rats; management is impossibly cagey and unresponsive; crazy 22% (!!!!!!!) rent increase after the first year despite all of this (we negotiated a small concession because of the whole NO GAS situation). they are charging insane rents for the size of these units................
Advice to owner:
consider giving one single shit about the fact that your tenants are people <3
