Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 89 Grattan Street note its convenient location near transit, quiet surroundings, and some well-renovated apartments with good water pressure and high ceilings. Tenants appreciate features like a backyard and laundry facilities. However, many highlight persistent issues: poor management responsiveness, especially regarding leaks and maintenance, garbage overflow outside, pest problems including ants and occasional mold, and past heating/hot water failures. Noise from front doors and some problematic basement units were also mentioned. While some renters recommend the building, consistent management improvements and better upkeep are crucial to enhance tenant satisfaction and building conditions.

Don't live in the duplex with basement (lots of leaks and mold)

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 the owners

Be better?!?!! Don't illegally deregulate these kinds of units as well. This building definitely should still be rent stabilized.
