Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 1491 Gates Avenue reveal ample living space and a decent backyard as positives. However, tenants consistently report unreliable heating, poor water pressure, and subpar pest control. Noise disturbances, including frequent house parties and thin walls, generate dissatisfaction, especially on the ground floor. Complaints highlight frequent landlord changes, unreturned deposits, and the problematic presence of Airbnb rentals leading to strangers in the building. Cleanliness averages around moderate levels, with garbage management rated slightly better. Overall, renters advise stronger enforcement of building policies, improved communication, and respectful treatment of tenants to enhance the living experience.

1L is a Nightmare

Pros

Decent backyard space

Cons

House parties every night, razor thin walls, A/C units never worked. If you move here, I would not recommend the ground floor. I lived here in 2022 and the neighbor in 1L was loud and inconsiderate to everyone in the building.
