Peter Street Condos, Toronto Condo Reviews 

...Been living here since the beginning and while there were some issues (just like any other building downtown), my experience has been very positive. I've seen quite a bit of downtown buildings and this one is still my favourite. The history is that the original property management company (First Residential) was very inefficient and not very knowledgeable, which led to many preventable incidents and elevator issues. A new condo board was elected with people that live in the building and they fired FSR and hired a new company called Icon. Since then, things have greatly improved and it's rare for an elevator to be down and things get addressed fairly quickly. They also installed upgrades that prevent floods or boiler problems. What I like about the building is the layout (my bedroom is separate from the living room and my bathroom is huge), high end finishes like the hardwood floor, location (of course!) and the view (get to see CN Tower and the lake and I'm not even that high up). It doesn't have a lot of amenities but I usually end up only needing a gym anyway. The Board is very friendly and keeps residents up to date with any info and answers questions very quickly. The site supervisor/head security Ed is great. He has been here for a while and he knows the residents and helps out with any concerns or big packages. Generally, I found that except for a few concierges that left, the security always responded and investigated any noise complaints I called them about. Any other issues like rentals and noise are the cons of living downtown and are not avoidable. It's totally worth it for me since it takes me less than 15 minutes to walk to work. Overall it's a great place to be if you're a young professional or a couple that enjoys downtown city living...

...These are the reasons why this building should be avoided, coming from a tenant that is happy to be moving somewhere else. 1. The building does look good and the units, but the materials are terrible qualities from toilet, doors, wall, and windows they keep breaking all the time. 2. Airbnb, you have plenty of party and sketchy people coming in and out all the time, one time the police break into the apartment next to me where the was an Airbnb, for the amount of police that was involved it looked like drug dealing or something like that. 3. Cockroaches in the trash shoot, every time I was going to shoot there was a cockroach 4. Only 3 elevators. This one time all three were broken, management is very bad, first, one elevator broke they never fix it, then the two others broke it was a mess. If you live on the 30 floors it is not a piece of cake to take the stairs. I felt like a prisoner in my own room. 5. Common areas? The gym was empty and always full, no lobby only a narrow hallway, and got even narrower when they installed some lockboxes. 6. They charge for everything, want to book the elevator? want to book a common area? you gotta pay two fees one refundable and one non-refundable...

...I rented a unit here for four years and it was pretty good for the first year or two. The aesthetics of my unit are gorgeous with floor-to-ceiling glass windows, a huge balcony, open concept, and hidden appliances in the kitchen, which is what drew me to rent this unit. The location is also prime being steps away from an overpriced CityMarket, Shoppers, King and Spadina streetcars, and great dining, shopping, and entertainment. HOWEVER your day-to-day experience will be terrible. At least one elevator is broken all the time, the middle elevator gets stuck on a daily basis (terrifying), there are lots of AirBnB rowdy parties, the front desk people are friendly but generally loose about security and tenant concerns, there is no visitor parking, you have to pay for everything like booking the elevator or party room, and generally the quality is shabby. We had issues with the washing machine and fridge within 2 years, and noticed that window frames and finishings started to fall apart over time. You're much better off renting in a neighbouring property like 125 Peter St. for the same price...

...1) Condos are being built here and there (at least 3 around this building). If you work from home or oversleep on weekends, then avoid living in this building at least the next 3-4 years. 2) The worst water pressure in the shower. You can‘t change/or make it better unless you take out the tiles in the bathroom. 3) The bathroom sink is too shallow so it’s impossible to keep it clean. 4) You'll find too much draft in winter. It’s very cheap floor to ceiling windows. 5) The lobby is small and cramped. When you line up for the elevator, it’s impossible to keep a social distance. 6) You get to charge about $45 for using the elevator for moving. Not a deposit. 7) The building security is a total joke. There are multiple incidents happened. Security guards are nice and friendly but that’s it. 8) The building management is the worst. Flooding happens so many times (I had to take shower with cold water so many times) elevator breaks down a lot. (sometimes all 3 elevators)...

...Why would anyone want to rent here longterm is beyond me. I'd lived here for 2 1/2 years. During my time as a tenant, I've encountered numerous issues. On an ongoing basis: 1) elevators being broke. i.e. waiting up to 5-10 minutes per elevator, especially during rush hours; 2) fire alarms blaring in the middle of the night, during the day, whenever; 3) loud neighbors due to this building being primarily short-term rentals/Airbnb; 4) garbage chute malfunction and people nonetheless leaving their trash in the garbage room; 5) shallow bathroom sink, so it gets messy quickly 6) poor structural engineering. The cracks in my ceiling are getting wider and deeper. It's an all dry wall. 7) cheap fridge that leaks. and be careful with closing; it slams easily and stays shut, making it impossible to reopen; 8) good luck baking. The oven doesn't have accurate temperatures. It is a dial where you have to guess the estimated temperature. 9) when it rains, silt from the balcony above falls onto yours; 10) in general, the units are tiny. Beware. The only plus is that it's in a convenient location and the front desk people are friendly enough...

...Honestly, you can't go wrong with the location here. It steps away from the grocery store, entertainment, and 10 min walk to the subway. I moved here recently and I did not have any issues with loud noise from party goers. The layout is very practical and insulation is good in the building. I do not need to turn on my heat for the wintertime and its always around 21-22 degrees regardless (save hydro there). So far so good...

...The building was built with cheap materials and that has lead to numerous issues. Right from nonheating for two weeks in November (in Toronto!), to one elevator almost always out of order out of the three elevators of the building. There have been multiple occasions when all three elevators have been out of order. The line for the elevator wait generally extends till the main door and beyond. The building management are polite and try their best to fix things but with the quality of materials being so bad, the issues are never fixed permanently. This building is a good for a starter place, if you are new to Toronto and want to know the city better, this is right in the centre of everything and the rents are affordable because of all the above mentioned issues. But other than that, stay away from this one...

...Apart from the location, the building is crap. All 3 elevators never work. One of them has been out of service since 2 months. Its usually 2 or 1 in service. Today there are no elevators working at all due to a flooding in the building. Something has to go wrong with building all the time. I feel the building is poorly constructed with cheap equipments. Elevators out of service all the time, appliances break, flooding in the building (11th floor is a disaster after the flooding), Fire alarms at midnight to scare people while sleeping, no visitor parking, no hot water, long wait times for elevators, people getting struck in elevators and the list goes on. What surprises me if there is an issue - I feel they go for a short fix and the issue surfaces again. Recommend to stay away from renting or buying if you want to save yourself the trouble...

...Pretty much ticks all the boxes for what you DON'T want in a home. Floorplans are tiny, walls are thin, no guest parking, location is extremely loud, ridden with AirBNB short-term renters, and pipes are constantly bursting in the building. The majority of your days will be spent taking the stairs as the building is usually down to one elevator. It's worse in the winter months when there's a queue for the elevator extending out the front door...

... Convenient location with Starbucks and grocery store at the doorstep and other shopping, restaurants and public transportation in walking distance. Building is kept clean with spacious well layed out units compared to others I've seen. Amenities fit with my lifestyle and include a fitness studio, theater, billiards and most importantly a 24-hr concierge. As with any condo building, repairs or service has been ocassionally required. The key for me is that they have been addressed and resolved fairly quickly by property management...

...Where do I start. The sinks are shallow and water splashes everywhere. The appliances are complete junk and broke. The construction is is incredibly cheap and poor, especially in the kitchen. The water is never hot, the water pressure is even worse. The management is bad, what do they do all day? They can’t even bother to memorize the residents and buzz them in. The elevators are always broke. The gym is meh for a building this size. A few weights and cheap threadmills that always break. No visitor parking. Tons of airbnb in the lobby however our floor is pretty quiet and we’ve had no noise issues thus far. The one positive is the unit size we’ve got, it is great and the layout works perfectly for us...

101 Peter Street is full of rentals and Airbnb units. There are a lot of noisy people visiting the building at all hours of the night. There is no sense of community here. The walls are thin in some parts of the condos, there for heating noisy neighbors and even light switches being turned on and off and doors closing. Very poor construction! All three elevators are never all functioning. Stay away from renting or buying here.

...Renting here - it is a great building to live in. Location is walking distance to TTC, right near lots of activities. It is also right on top of a supermarket which is rare in downtown Toronto. Units have better furnishings than most others I've seen, better quality and useful details, like outlets in the islands, which make it great for cooks like me! The building has a good gym with lots of equipment. Only downvoted as it doesn't have a pool. Not a lot of noise for the location too...

...Great building with responsive management. The location is very good as well. Units have larger layouts than newer buildings in the area, and better quality appliances. Doors are very thick so no noise can be heard from the hallways. Only downside about unit are structural columns, which make it difficult to furnish, but otherwise add personality and style. Units let in lots of light, especially corner ones, and have unobstructed views...

...Good: Proximity to work/restaurants/cafe/shopping. New condo manager and board responses to issues quickly. Bad: Smaller lobby area. Can be noisy on weekend nights due to pub/club nearby Original owner/resident purchased from developer. Overall, I'm happy with my unit so far. On elevator comments: there was period of time (~2017) where the elevator service company was really bad (unresponsive to service call), but it had been improved drastically since the service company fired the previous area manager around mid 2017...

...This building is a complete joke.

There are 3 elevators to service 40 floors and it is a rare occasion when all 3 elevators are operating. It is perfectly normal that only one elevator works.

The bathrooms in the suites have very shallow sinks so water splashes everywhere. The bathtub drain is constantly being clogged. I had the buildings recommended plumber come and unclog the drain. He was in my suite for 10 minutes and the bill was $260 dollars.

The small condo stacked fridge and freezer has poor circulation causing for the fridge to also partially freeze.

Unfortunately, this building is full of Airbnb rentals. Since some of the walls are very thin and the balconies are attached on each floor.....the noise levels are horrible. This building feels like living in a frat house. Terribly annoying for those of us that live here full time and actually want to enjoy the homes that we pay to live in.

I am incredibly disappointed to be living here. I would never recommend this building to anyone...
