    Review Summary for The Ballgreen Complex
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Tenant reviews for 186 Lenox Road reveal a mixed experience with notable concerns. While the building boasts modern amenities like a gym, laundry, parking, rooftop access, and nice apartment layouts with good water pressure, persistent pest problems—especially roaches and rats—are a frequent complaint. Noise levels vary, with some praising quiet interiors but others citing loud neighbors and street noise. Management responsiveness is inconsistent; many tenants report poor communication, delayed or ignored maintenance, disputes over security deposits, and security lapses allowing non-residents inside. Heating and insulation issues, occasional elevator breakdowns, and sanitation in package and trash areas further affect resident satisfaction. Prospective renters should weigh amenities against management challenges and environmental factors.

    Shady Management + Lack of Insulation
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Barely any. Good natural light i guess.
    Cons:
    Inside feels colder than outside during the winter. I'm pretty sure there's mold in my apartment, and am going to ask other neighbors to see if they think the same, but my roommate has developed a cough, and the windows always have some watery black substance around it. There is a roach problem even though we are clean freaks; everyone has been complaining about this, elevator stops working frequently and they have the nerve to try to increase our rent. Its ridiculous. I hope this building shuts down one day and that the owners get sued. This has to be illegal.
    Advice to owner:
    Stop being cheap and shady. Actual people live in here and deserve good living conditions.
