Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of 2611 East 13 Street note a clean building in a quiet, calm residential area with convenient access to stores and transit. Tenants appreciate the generally quiet neighbors and well-maintained public spaces. However, a major concern is the unreliable heating system, causing discomfort in winter; many report apartments becoming very cold and heating requests going unresolved. Owner responsiveness is frequently described as slow or unhelpful, with maintenance and security issues such as unsecured mail also mentioned. Garbage management and pest control receive mixed feedback, while some advise adding a doorman to improve safety. Despite flaws, some renters still recommend the building for its location and atmosphere.
