    Review Summary for 89 Grattan Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 89 Grattan Street reveal a mixed tenant experience. Positives include good water pressure, sound insulation, newly renovated apartments with high ceilings, and a pleasant backyard. Some renters find management responsive and appreciate amenities like laundry in the basement. However, significant concerns persist regarding persistent leaks and mold, especially in basement units, pest infestations, and poor overall building maintenance. Garbage management is often criticized due to frequent overflowing trash, and noise from slamming front doors is an issue. Many tenants report slow or unresponsive management, which affects trust. While some recommend the building, others strongly advise caution, especially due to health and safety issues.

    Don't live in the duplex with basement (lots of leaks and mold)
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great sound insulation, never had a problem with rats, safe, never had a package stolen, never had water pressure issues.
    Cons:
    I lived here for 1.5 years in a unit with a basement on the first floor, and the management was horrible. It repeatedly flooded during storms and management responsiveness was very low. In our last week there, it flooded the upstairs (first floor) from the ceiling, and there was water everywhere. We asked them for a mop and buckets to help and they didn't show up until a few days later. Whenever we would report a leak, they would just paint over it on the wall instead of addressing the actual problem. There was visible mold in a closet in the basement despite the paint. We also had an ant problem.
    Advice to owner:
    Be better?!?!! Don't illegally deregulate these kinds of units as well. This building definitely should still be rent stabilized.

    Poisoned from every angle
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Backyard is nice when not gross
    Cons:
    Pests everywhere, leaks, most notably a gas leak confirmed and fixed by gas company that travelled up walls to first floor apt. On the garbage truck route, so literally every full garbage truck must sit idling with hot garbage to weigh in. Absolutely horrendous and would never recommend
    Advice to owner:
    Burn it down already.
