Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of 179 Stanhope Street reveal a mixed tenant experience. While some appreciate updated bathrooms, good proximity to transit, and responsive management, many report significant issues: persistent noise from loud neighbors and street activity, open drug use near the building, pest infestations including cockroaches, and heating inconsistencies. Garbage management and water pressure receive moderate remarks, but cleanliness and pest control are frequent concerns. Security and safety worries, alongside slow or unhelpful landlord responses, have led to dissatisfaction among several renters. Improvements in building upkeep, stricter noise enforcement, pest treatment, and better management communication would enhance residents’ living conditions.

Couldn’t have had a worse time!

Pros

Relatively new bathroom, good proximity to trains

Cons

Where to begin… extremely noisy, during summer expect to hear blaring music at all hours. Lots of drugs used openly on this street and specifically on this stoop. Many times had to step over passed out people while living here. Found large cockroaches that flew in my bed multiple times. Management didn’t help, they will ghost emails. Didn’t get security deposit back for months and took lawyer threats to get it back.

Advice to the owners

Follow the contract you signed to. Do better.
