Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants of Yoel Jacobowitz's buildings generally find them clean, well-maintained, and located conveniently near transit. Many praise responsive management and attentive maintenance teams, especially for cleanliness and garbage handling. Apartments often feature appealing designs and amenities like private rooftop access and in-unit laundry. However, some renters report pest issues and inconsistent responsiveness during emergencies. Noise from nearby trains can disturb sensitive tenants, and some buildings have heating concerns tied to power outages. Rent increases post-initial lease and limited parking availability are also noted. Overall, management is seen as proactive though occasional improvements in pest control and noise insulation would enhance resident satisfaction.

Reviews

Quirky for Sure

Pros

This building is clean and very close to the train. Our unit also has a great roof deck!

Cons

This building has an unresponsive management company, can get quite loud because of its proximity to the train (the whole apartment rattles when it comes), and is supposedly new but has uninsulated windows everywhere. It's also all electric, including heat, so when we lost power for a few days, we also lost heat.

Loved our stay but have to make adjustments

Pros

'Private' rooftop area only accessible by top floor tenant Washer/dryer in unit Management was responsive Electronic payments

Cons

Rooftop area is connected to neighbouring buildings which isn't too safe Top floor room has full-length windows - set up curtains + make sure doors are all locked Staircase is more narrow than usual - make sure to check that your furniture can fit Subway can be kind of loud, no-go if you are sensitive to sound
