Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews praise 1456 31 Dr for its excellent cleanliness, well-managed garbage disposal, and responsive super who maintains the building well. Residents appreciate the strong water pressure and effective pest control. The building offers a convenient location near parks, transportation, and a roof deck, though access to the roof has been inconsistently granted. Noise from nearby 21st street traffic and sirens is a significant concern, impacting comfort, especially for balconies. Heating is often inadequate or lacks temperature control. While some tenants approve of management, others seek improved communication and flexibility, particularly regarding roof access and building renovations.

Great building terrible location on 21st street
Former Tenant
Pros:
Love the apartment, it was recently renovated but it’s the only one in the building to have been renovated and they cut some corners. Close to parks and the river, easy walk to train and buses. Super and his family are awesome and keep the building very clean.
Cons:
Being on 21st street the noise level is very high, constant traffic, sirens, car alarms and trucks in the shopping center are very annoying. We have a balcony but can’t use it much when it’s extra noisy out. The renovation in the apt was done quickly and half assed, but at least it’s updated. Very cold in the winter with the radiator heaters. Don’t believe the broker about roof access, after 2 years we’ve never been allowed up. Many others who have lived here longer haven’t either despite asking for access many times. The super has the key but says he isn’t allowed to unlock it.
Advice to owner:
Be more open to working with tenants when they have changing life situations. Allow tenants to use the roof!
