Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Stephen Crawford reveals significant variability in management quality. While some appreciate the convenient locations and friendly neighbors, many express frustration with persistent issues such as poor cleanliness, ineffective garbage management, pest infestations, and unreliable heating and hot water supply. A common concern is the slow or unresponsive management, with tenants noting difficulties in communication and unclear points of contact. Some buildings have outdated facilities and maintenance delays that detract from living conditions. However, a few reviews highlight responsive management and maintenance efforts, suggesting inconsistency across properties. Overall, renters should anticipate a mix of experiences with management responsiveness and building upkeep.

Utterly Embarrassed Tenant

Pros

The location is literally a few blocks away all Public transportation

Cons

Rat infestation observed in the garbage area Interior common areas are consistently unclean No identifiable or responsive management to address complaints Heat and hot water are sporadic and unreliable

Advice to the owners

It is strongly recommended that the property owner take immediate corrective action to address the current living conditions. This includes engaging licensed pest control services to eliminate the rat infestation in the garbage area, implementing a consistent cleaning and sanitation schedule for all interior common areas, and ensuring reliable access to heat and hot water in compliance with housing regulations. Additionally, the property owner should establish a clearly identified and responsive management contact to allow tenants to submit complaints and maintenance requests. Ongoing monitoring and routine inspections should be conducted to prevent recurrence of these issues and to ensure the property remains safe, clean, and habitable.

Wouldn't recommend this building

Pros

Good location (between 3 train and A/B/C/D) Near 2 grocery stores Close to City College

Cons

Unresponsive management No elevator No garbage (you have to walk around the corner and put your trash in the cans) Outdated appliances Intermittently lose hot water Issues with consistent heat Building flooded in December 2022 and very little water damage has been addressed

Advice to the owners

Create a clearer list of who to contact when, and create ways for tenants to know when a super no longer works at the bulding so we don't continue to try to contact them
