    Review Summary for 1140 St Johns Place
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant feedback for 1140 St Johns Place reveals a mixed experience. The building benefits from a convenient location, spacious units with ample natural light, and generally respectful neighbors. However, persistent issues include poor maintenance, pest infestations (roaches, rodents), inconsistent heating with high costs, weak water pressure, and unclean common areas. Garbage management receives varied reviews, and responsiveness from management and maintenance is often slow or inadequate, though some find the landlord timely. While the building shows potential with security measures and decent apartment size, improvements in cleanliness, pest control, and heating efficiency are needed to enhance tenant satisfaction.

    Poorly maintained building, redeemed by neighbors
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Back of house units are quiet and mostly free of street noise; neighbors are largely communicative and helpful; relatively affordable rent for area
    Cons:
    Terrible insulation so heat bills are through the roof, it gets incredibly hot in the summer, and you can hear everything in surrounding units; uneven floors; centipede infestation on first floor, rodents and roaches on upper floors; hallways are rarely cleaned; super is rarely responsive despite the listing indicating a "live-in super" (he does not live on the premises); bad water pressure; tenants responsible for heating their own water
