Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews of buildings managed by Jake Demosthenous reveal a mixed management experience. While the properties benefit from good location, affordable rent, and generally attentive management, several buildings show signs of aging with outdated interiors, pest issues, and inconsistent heating. Garbage management and maintenance responsiveness vary, with some tenants reporting slow or hard-to-reach services. Safety concerns such as lack of security cameras and unauthorized construction were also mentioned. Tenants advise upgrading infrastructure and improving maintenance protocols. Despite these challenges, many residents appreciate the quiet, good neighbors, and reasonable water pressure, making these buildings a viable option for budget-conscious renters seeking basic amenities.

rats in front of building, interior leading up to apartment units are run down (cracked floors and walls, leaking ceiling, busted light), hard to reach building maintenance/super, heat was off for several months
