Review Summary for 1012 Ocean Avenue
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 1012 Ocean Avenue reveal a mixed experience for tenants. The building benefits from a good location and spacious apartments, with generally adequate heating and water pressure. However, chronic elevator breakdowns, pest issues (notably roaches and occasional bed bugs), and outdated infrastructure like the intercom system and lobby aesthetics are common complaints. Security concerns include package theft and hallway loitering. Cleanliness and garbage disposal receive middling ratings, and noise levels are variable. Owner responsiveness is seen as inconsistent. Many tenants urge significant renovations, improved maintenance, enhanced security, and aesthetic upgrades to elevate living conditions.

Fine until it wasn't
Former Tenant
Pros:
Had an elevator, never had a package stolen. Super was gruff, but always answered and always reminded me to lock my doors just in case. only a few block from the B/Q. Huge bedroom and large living room.
Cons:
Had a leak in the bathroom on all floors on one side of the building which wasn't fully fixed and allowed roaches to fester 2.5 years into my 3 years of residence. Before this roaches were not a problem. Pest control came sporadically and no notices were given.
