Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 117 South 4 Street highlight its prime location near transit, Domino Park, and vibrant neighborhood amenities as major draws. The apartments are noted for new appliances, exposed brick, and great natural light, appealing to those valuing charm and convenience. However, the building suffers from persistent cleanliness and maintenance issues, including mold, leaks, pest problems with rats and occasional roaches, and poorly kept common areas. Residents report inconsistent heat and occasional water issues. Management is frequently described as unresponsive or slow, with communication gaps and inadequate problem resolution. While neighbors are generally good, noise levels and questionable superintendent reliability are concerns. Prospective renters should weigh location benefits against upkeep and management challenges.

Generally responsive landlord but low quality building

Pros

- Amazing location - cheaper - New-ish appliances - Landlord is responsive

Cons

- Inconsistent heat - Disgusting common areas (trash in the hallway, spit, cigarettes, mystery fluids, smells, trash spilling into the street) - Super is sketch and flakey - Mold detected in every rooms and probably in every wall, the drywall is rotting

bad management and bad upkeep

Pros

great neighbors, good location, brick is nice

Cons

the management is incredibly unresponsive. they continuously painted over a leak instead of repairing it (it caused mold). there are rats in the walls (and in the units). long term tenants in non reno'd units were treated poorly compared to those in more expensive units
