    Review Summary for 620 Parkside Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Reviews for 620 Parkside Avenue reveal a mixed living experience. Tenants praise the building's newer construction, good location near transit and park, decent amenities like a gym, and decent water pressure and heating when functional. Neighbor relations vary, with some describing them as friendly and others noisy. However, persistent issues overshadow these positives: management responsiveness is often criticized as slow or indifferent; severe pest infestations, including rats and flies, have been reported; cleanliness and garbage management are lacking; flooding in the basement remains unresolved; and residents face unusually high electric bills due to poor insulation. Communication and empathy from management are also noted as areas needing significant improvement.

    Long term tenant
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Nothing comes to mind. Proximity to the park and subways.
    Cons:
    Sometimes mail is dropped off at the lobby which can sometimes get stolen, and the surrounding area can be loud on the weekends. Management didn’t notify when elevator is out and slow to respond to issues within the building. They also took almost a year to fix leakage in the building.
    Advice to owner:
    Do better.

    Disgusting Infestations, No Ventilation & High Electric Bills
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    -Newer build with dishwashers decent finishes in Kitchen/Bathroom
    -Good natural light in bedrooms
    -Good proximity to transit
    -Decent gym
    Cons:
    -Fly infestation driven by dead rats in the walls/ceilings
    -Horrendous smell from rotting dead rats constantly in main hallways/basement
    -Basement floods consistently and smells musty/poopy/like dead animals
    -Poor insulation means running heat constantly and electric bills up to $500 for 2BR
    -AC/Split units not upkept between tenants and caked with mold
    -Tiny fridges
    -Small bedrooms
    -Baseboards in units don't touch the floor
    -No super contact info provided in case of emergency
    -Rats chewed through wires - major fire hazards throughout building
    -Poor ventilation means cooking smells/other smells get trapped throughout hallways
    -Landlord closes tickets without addressing issues
    -Fellow tenants have severe leaks in their units with landlord refusing to fix
    Advice to owner:
    Stop putting bandaids on problems and actually fix them by the root. Our wellbeing is at stake and it's unfair for what we pay.
