Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant feedback for buildings managed by John Church consistently praises the attentive and courteous doormen and maintenance staff, highlighting their promptness in addressing issues. Buildings are noted for cleanliness, well-maintained amenities, and a convenient location with excellent transit access. However, tenants frequently mention persistent noise problems due to construction, proximity to a fire station, and the busy Midtown area. Several reviews note management's responsiveness is generally good but can be inconsistent, with occasional communication gaps and frustration over unresolved tenant concerns or misleading amenity availability. Rent increases and extra fees for gym use are also common grievances. Overall, expect a professionally managed building with strong staff but surrounding noise and management responsiveness that can vary.
