Review Summary for 679 Waring Avenue
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant reviews highlight mixed experiences in the buildings managed by 679 WARING AVENUE. While tenants appreciate responsive supers for cleanliness and neighborly atmosphere, issues arise with management's lack of attention to maintenance concerns like leaks and pests. Inconsistent heating and poor owner responsiveness are common complaints. Despite some positives like location convenience and good neighbors, ongoing challenges with laundry, pests, and communication detract from the overall living experience. Renters suggest improving maintenance efficiency, communication, and addressing critical infrastructure issues promptly to enhance tenant satisfaction.

All that glitters isn’t gold!
Former Tenant
Pros:
The super does an amazing job keeping the building clean, in the three years living there I’ve never seen a rodent or bug. Location is GREAT!
Cons:
The building is owned and run by a management company who couldn’t care less about the building or its residents. I moved into a recently renovated apartment three years ago; during the last three years there have been multiple leaks that have gone unfixed and unaddressed by management. BLACK MOLD in the ceiling makes me hesitant to stay because of their lack of attention. My two downstairs neighbors have lived here their entire lives and have the same issues. They take NO ownership for a building they’re supposed to maintain. Tread Lightly!
Advice to owner:
When a tenant that has been living with you for years, brings up an issue, it should be properly addressed. This would ensure you have a beautiful, respectful, community of tenants living and respecting your building.

Going on 2 years
Former Tenant
Pros:
Super Maximo is very responsive and nice. I see him around the building all the time and helps same day with apt needs.
Neighbors are good keeping noise down. Occasional noise once in awhile.
Close to the trains, park, and shops.

Cons:
Heat is not always running. Apt can go a couple of hours cold.
Lobby is clean but occasionally ppl leave random free stuff that isn’t needed.
Management is very hard to get a hold of. Not my favorite people. They never answer phones.

Some issues, overall ok place
Former Tenant
Pros:
Fairly quiet, decent place, great area
Cons:
Laundry was broken for over six months with no warning or tentative reopen date. Tenants did not receive compensation. Pests coming up through drains and cracks in shower, though it was dealt with in a timely manner still gross. Place was absolutely unbearable in summer heat, clunky heaters in winter that sound like they’ll explode. Had issues with hot water in winter
Advice to owner:
Definitely look into plumbing issues that may be happening, fix the laundry and communicate better with tenants
