Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by James Demetriou reveals a mixed management experience. Some properties are praised for quietness, good location, and friendly neighbors, yet tenants frequently cite poor cleanliness, pest issues, and malfunctioning amenities like elevators and heating. Building management responsiveness is often described as slow or indifferent, with complaints of rude staff and inadequate security measures, including theft and outdated intercoms. Garbage management varies widely, and some residents express frustration over maintenance delays and lack of proactive problem-solving by supers. Overall, renters should expect management that struggles with timely repairs and tenant relations despite some positive community aspects.

Reviews

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Cute, quiet building, w/o amenities

Pros

Very quiet, you really do not heat your neighbors. Close to a lot of restaurants, bars, and public transport

Cons

The elevator is constantly breaking down. The drying machines leave your clothes smelling like burnt rubber

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Nice building but horrible Management/Owners/Workers

Pros

Near transports, highway, Malls communities, Restaurants, schools and local stores

Cons

Super talks bad about all tenants, management office, owners and buyers, he’s NEVER around when we need him, packages are always being stolen, super could care less if packages are left by the mailbox or intercom, he says that’s not part of his job. Front entrance door 70% never works, the intercom and security camera never works and it’s out dated in the main entrance. When tenants calls the office to complain about any issues with mail stolen, noise from tenants or repairs they speak to tenants very rude and don’t address the concerns or issues properly. Manage want to raise the rent to fix your kitchen, bathroom and any repairs. I do NOT recommend this building to any buyers, investors nor renters!!!.. STAY AWAY!!!!.

Advice to the owners

Staff needs to take into consideration when tenants calls with any issues of complaints, repairs and misconduct of building staff and tenants ! The building is old and security should be a top priority! Fix the back yard so the kids, elderly and homebound could enjoy the nice weather, my. child got hurt playing in the backyard due to the negligence of the building, I did not sue cause my job covered for all medical expenses and hospital emergency visits! We pay high rent, mortgage and maintenance for sloppy maintenance and services!!!. FIX THE BACK YARD!!!!!..
