Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for 2138 Caton Avenue reveal a mix of positives and challenges. The building offers modern amenities, in-unit laundry, rooftop access, and a convenient location near transit and Prospect Park. Residents appreciate the helpful super and some feel the building is generally clean and safe. However, management receives widespread criticism for poor responsiveness, aggressive communication, inconsistent maintenance, and frequent rent increases with added fees. Noise from neighbors and nearby streets is a common complaint due to thin walls and street noise. Issues with cleanliness in common areas, pest control, and security have also been noted. Overall, prospective renters should weigh amenities and location against management and noise concerns.

Renter Q&A

Has anyone ever successfully got their security deposits back ?

Over 2 years ago

I only got a partial refund on the security deposit. They deducted for regular wear and tear on the apartment which was ridiculous.
