Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 823 Gates Avenue reveal issues with heating, pest control, and garbage management as primary concerns. Tenants praise the apartment's spatial features like high ceilings, modern kitchens, and decent bedroom sizes, along with relatively quiet streets and good parking. However, persistent cold due to poor insulation and faulty heating, strong garbage odors in hallways, and rodent and bug infestations significantly detract from living conditions. Noise from neighbors, especially in summer, and slow landlord responsiveness add to residents' frustrations. Improved heating, timely maintenance, pest eradication, and better garbage disposal are advised to enhance tenant satisfaction.

Reviews of 823 Gates Avenue

Former tenant·11 hours ago

4/10 wouldn’t recommend

Pros

The apartment is neat The bathrooms are cute The bedrooms are decent size

Cons

It’s super cold even with 2 space heaters The garbage stinks in the hallway and seldom gets taken out Only one bedroom can fit a king size bed the other can fit either a full or twin bed Nasty, NASTY rat problem There’s a drawer in the kitchen that can’t open due to the stove in the way The light switches are upside down The hanging light fixtures gets in the way of the cabinet opening The windows aren’t insulated so there’s always a draft of cold air coming in the bedrooms The landlord seldom answers the phone and when he does; it’s days after

Advice to the owners

Invest in a better heating system and put the garbage cans outside and hire someone to clean the hallway and fix the rodent issue
