    Review Summary for 280 Crown Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews at 280 Crown Street highlight a mix of positives and negatives. The building's strengths include proximity to public transport, amiable neighbors, and a dedicated superintendent. However, recurring issues with pests, particularly roaches and mice, as well as challenges with building cleanliness and security have been a concern for residents. Recommendations for improved pest control, renovations, and enhanced security measures have been suggested to enhance the overall living experience. Despite some drawbacks, the building's affordability and communal atmosphere have been valued by tenants.

    Totally Roach Infested
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location is good for trains and they allow pets. The super is live-in and he's very kind and works super hard.
    Cons:
    Our apartment was a shoebox and worth it for the price at the time but we had roaches coming out of the walls like crazy and the property owners gaslit us even when pest control was telling us there was a known problem.
    Advice to owner:
    Mandate building-wide roach treatments.

    Sweet Spot - 9/10
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Affordable
    AMAZING super
    Sweet communal neighbors
    Elevator working 95% of the time
    Good bones
    Post is rarely stolen and super brings it to door if he has free time!
    Cons:
    Not much to add, not many supermarkets in the area, only moving because the apartment we have is too small for us and there are no bigger ones open in the building!
    Pest control comes on the 1st however we're rarely home on these days - have seen increase in bugs over the last few months (we're clean people!)
    Advice to owner:
    Not much!
