Review Summary for 97-20 57 Avenue
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 97-20 57 Avenue highlight a convenient location near amenities and public transport. However, residents express disappointment in the building's misleading exterior, with reports of roaches, poor maintenance, and old appliances. The management's lack of responsiveness to requests and subpar replacements are major concerns. Suggestions include using higher-quality materials. Multiple reviews emphasize ongoing pest issues and a deteriorating quality of living. Despite proximity to facilities, the prevalent problems with pests, maintenance, and unaddressed requests make living in this building challenging, leading to a general lack of recommendation from current tenants.

Cons:
I called it a Shiny Rotten Apple because they make the buildings look "new" on the outside, but the inside is old:
-Roaches!!!!
-Dog poop everywhere.
-No access to back/basement door entrances (like in the past).
-Old cracked waterlogged, peeling walls/paint.
-Hard and difficult to replace OLD furniture, etc (rusted sinks, refrigerator, stoves, etc.)
-When you do get something replaced, it's with something CHEAP and BAD QUALITY.
-They put money in unnecessary things instead of stuff that really matters.
-You have to ask a million times for a request until (if ever) they complete it.
-There's more but working HARD to get out.
