Review Summary for 416 Kent Avenue
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 416 Kent Avenue praise the building's prime waterfront location, scenic views, and well-lit walking paths, benefitting dog owners and commuters near ferry access. Residents find the concierge and doorman staff friendly and helpful, with generally well-maintained interiors and efficient heating and water pressure. However, many highlight consistent issues with building management, describing them as unresponsive, unprofessional, and inattentive to tenant concerns. Noise from neighbors and construction, small apartment sizes relative to high rent, and fluctuating amenity policies, especially regarding pool access, are common complaints. Pest control is generally effective, but occasional odors and maintenance problems persist.

Really Poor Management
Former Tenant
Pros:
Concierge is amazing! Building staff are responsive and very friendly. Dry cleaning drop off in building. Electric bill is very low.
Cons:
Significant smell of marijuana. No amenities included with rent. Package room is limited hours. Cannot get packages 24/7. Management doesn’t respond to complaints.

Generally a pretty pleasant place to live
Former Tenant
Pros:
* Wonderful staff (especially the concierge staff and porters)
* Great location (though it’s a little far from the train)
* Amenities areas are really nice
* Well-maintained
* Generally pretty quick response to repair requests through the portal
* Amazing being by the water and Domino Park
Cons:
* Typical ones that come with a large management company (e.g., actual management sometimes slow to respond)
* People were initially not very nice or accommodating to us since we had a lease reassignment (folks eventually warmed up but it took a min)
* Distance from the train is not ideal
* Management was not accommodating in dealing with the construction noise from the first floor shops that made working from home difficult
