Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for buildings managed by Joel Drizin reveal a mixed experience. Spacious layouts and good location near transit and parks are consistently praised. Many appreciate a generally responsive management when contacted but note frequent delays in maintenance and repairs. Persistent issues include pest infestations, poor garbage management, and inadequate security measures leading to package theft. Cleanliness is inconsistent, with some buildings described as dirty and poorly maintained. While some tenants approve of the owner, several highlight neglect, cost-cutting, and unaddressed complaints. Prospective renters should weigh the benefits of size and location against ongoing management and upkeep challenges.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Great building and layouts

Pros

Layouts are spacious. Neighbors are kind

Cons

Sneakily still trying to collect brokers fee from new tenants. Sometimes slow to do common area repairs.

Former tenant·6 minutes ago

Infested, Outdated, and Poorly Managed

Pros

Pros The only positive is the location it’s close to public transportation and shops.

Cons

The building has roaches and mice. Appliances are old and barely work. Management is greedy, unresponsive, and more focused on raising rent than fixing serious issue

Advice to the owners

Advice to the property owner Invest in proper pest control, update the appliances, and start treating tenants with respect. Ignoring basic living conditions while constantly increasing rent is unacceptable.
