Review Summary for 559 St Johns Place
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 559 St Johns Place praise the building's location, neighborly community, and reasonably responsive management. The building is appreciated for its cleanliness and acceptable noise levels by some, though others report poor maintenance of hallways and garbage issues tied to adjacent abandoned properties. A consistent concern is the inadequate heating system, relying on costly electric heaters, which leaves several tenants cold during winter. Pest problems like mice, ants, and roaches have been reported as well. While some tenants recommend the building for its positives, others advise thorough cleaning and heating improvements to enhance resident comfort and satisfaction.

Bad management, not clean
Former Tenant
Pros:
I lived in this building for less than a year and had to break my lease. The hallway is poorly maintained like the apartment. The building adjacent is abandoned and the whole neighborhood was dumping garbage there for months in the summer. I complained many times with no luck. I found mice in the apartment, management was not helpful and had to get rid of it myself.. i also had an ant problem in the kitchen, and i found small roaches at some point also.
Management also tried to rip me off by taking money from my security deposit and claiming that they were going to “close holes and paint”. I knew they didn’t from the next tenants.
Also, heat is electric and spikes up the bill in the winter.
