Easily the worst management of all time

Pros

good neighbourhood, good super

Cons

If you value your peace of mind, stay far away from this building and its management. Nothing about this property is right. From massive rat infestations inside apartments, recurring leaks every time it rains, mold issues, pest problems, filthy hallways, and broken, unsafe staircases — it’s an endless list of neglect. Packages are stolen constantly, and you’re lucky if anything you order actually reaches you. The water quality is horrendous, with murky, discolored tap water that’s a health hazard in itself. But none of these problems come close to the disaster that is their property management team. They’ll demand full market-rate rent on time like clockwork, but when it comes to fulfilling their actual responsibilities — like fixing a collapsed ceiling caused by their own construction negligence — they will vanish. Emails will be ignored, phone calls passed around, and no one will ever be accountable. In this building, the burden of every problem will be pushed onto you, no matter how serious or hazardous. It doesn’t matter if it’s a rat crawling across your bedroom, a flooded ceiling, or structural safety hazards — they will find a way to make it your responsibility to fix, while they continue collecting rent. Living here is a constant fight just to have basic livable conditions. Peace of mind? Forget it. You’re on your own.

Good but can be better

Pros

We had regular supply of heat and hot water during winters. And the neighbors are pretty cool.

Management would take weeks to respond to any issue.
