Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent renters at 448 St Johns Place praise the building's excellent location, spacious, light-filled apartments, and respectful, friendly neighbors. However, recurring issues include poor heating, inconsistent water pressure, and pest control problems, particularly mice infestations. Many residents express frustration with unresponsive or unhelpful management and delayed maintenance, especially during critical repairs like radiator leaks. Garbage management is considered average, and noise levels are generally low. Long-term tenants report ongoing difficulties with the landlord's approach to repairs and tenant relations. Overall, while the building offers a great community and location, management responsiveness and maintenance shortcomings remain significant concerns for renters.

Mice alert - little help from landlord

Pros

The neighbors were great and location is phenomenal

Cons

We discovered mice in our apartment and landlord took forever to send in anyone to examine. Sent in a the Super who wasn’t helpful and exterminator (who just dropped poison didn’t plug holes) and a contractor who tried to plug holes. After, the mice still were coming in, the landlord was unresponsive and unhelpful resolving. Also our radiator was leaking significantly (created a 2-3 inch puddle across entire living room one night) and the Super took days to come fix so we were without heat (or it would leak). He tried to fix it on 3 separate occasions (each one promising it was fixed) and failed each time. We had to wrap it in towels and put a pan underneath the leaks for the rest of winter.
