Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of 277 Menahan Street underline severe management issues with delayed fixes, pest problems, noise disturbances, and safety concerns. Tenants noted positives like convenient location, responsiveness (with room for improvement), and some natural light. However, consistent complaints about pests, poor cleanliness, and outdated facilities are prevalent. Suggestions include a thorough overhaul of management practices and prioritizing building maintenance. Despite a few desirable features and a select responsive owner, the prevalent issues raise significant reservations. Potential renters are advised to carefully consider the overall well-being of the building before committing.

Pros

Extra large unit, good amenities, responsive landlord (even if you didn’t like their answer)

Cons

Building had a mouse problem, was manageable and not a full infestation but renters beware. Neighbors in building constantly throw parties that last all night and mgmt cannot/will not take care of the situation. Building itself is typically dirty/out-of-date, you can tell this is just another lot in the mgmt portfolio. Several package thefts because the front door is broken.

Advice to the owners

Love your response time but please try to make a minimal effort with this building. Rent is too expensive to have to deal with these issues all the time.
