    Review Summary for 823 Gates Avenue
    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.

    4/10 wouldn’t recommend
    Former Tenant
    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 owner:
    Invest in a better heating system and put the garbage cans outside and hire someone to clean the hallway and fix the rodent issue
