    Review Summary for 142 Scholes Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Tenants at 142 Scholes Street appreciate the building's prime location, exposed brick, and friendly neighbors. However, consistent complaints target poor management responsiveness, dirty common areas, garbage and pest control issues, and persistent heating and hot water failures—even in winter. Water pressure problems, leaks, and limited closet space further impact livability. Several reviews highlight safety concerns like gas leaks and illegal apartment setups. While some renters tolerate conditions due to affordability and neighborhood perks, many strongly advise against living here unless management significantly improves maintenance, communication, and overall building upkeep to meet basic living standards.

    It could be worse!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Relatively affordable, landlord leaves us alone and fixes things sometimes. Love the neighborhood.
    Cons:
    Pests, too hot in winter, no window in the kitchen/living room area. Sharing 1 bathroom with 4 people. 1 tiny closet for all of us.
    Advice to owner:
    Lower the rent. Keep it cleaner to prevent roaches.

    Management doesn't even do the bare minimum.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Neighbors are nice!
    Cons:
    Management barely addressed the frequent heat/hot water issues and the public areas were often dirty for weeks and weeks. They rarely communicated about any issues, and lied to us about why something had suddenly stopped working (eg: the gas was turned off for a week because they did illegal repairs, but they blamed the city and national grid for turning it off). Don't live here!!!
