    Review Summary for 39 Macdonough St

Maintenance issues have been reported, with tenants expressing dissatisfaction over the haphazard renovations and lack of responsiveness from management. Hot water disruptions and unresolved leaks have been major concerns raised by renters. Despite the advantages of location and apartment size, management's poor handling of complaints and maintenance delays deter overall satisfaction and recommendation for living in this building.

    Spacious but bad maintenance
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The apartments are spacious.
    Cons:
    The renovations were done haphazardly. The contracted pretty much evaded all responsibility during the renovation, the materials used are cheap and everything falls apart.
