Peter Street Condos, Toronto Condo Reviews 

...The building is well located and slick looking. Nonetheless, when you weigh all the negatives I would strongly recommend finding another place to live. The place is filled with Airbnbs, there was an Airbnb next to my house and in the summer it was mostly booked, one day a guest leaves, and that same day another one arrives. Don't get me wrong I mostly didn't care about the guest that was just visiting or staying, but since the place is in the middle of the entertainment district a lot of people used the apartment next door and other units on my floor as party rooms. They would fit 10 people in a small bedroom apartment and you could see them in the hallway parties laughing and drinking. It was very annoying. If you value a good night's sleep avoid this place...

...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...

...Well, I have finally moved out of this shithole. I was one of the first tenants in this building when it opened just over 6 years ago. I know this place inside and out and shit I've seen over the last 6 years... The only reason I gave it 1 1/2 stars is because my landlord was great. I'm not sure where to start but here we go 1) Management - Absolutely horrible and useless management (in 6 years, they've changed management 3 times and it just doesn't get better. The current management harassed me over a parking spot that wasn't even mine, regardless of how many times I told them that) 2) Concierge - apart from Ed (big, white guy working days), everyone else is utterly useless. They struggle to keep full-time staff so you get temp randos who are glued to their phones and don't even acknowledge you when you come in. I've seen staff passed out at the desk. 3) No visitors parking, nowhere to unload your car from shopping, etc. 4) Non-refundable fees for the elevator, party room, etc 5) My makeshift bedroom gym is better equipped than the condo one. Also, rando "personal trainers" from the building use the gym to train their EXTERNAL clients, taking little equipment that is there. 6) Airbnb, should I really say more? Sketchy people galore who don't care about respecting the property, physical distancing, masks, etc 7) ELEVATORS - every time it rains, the elevators don't work. Let that sink in (no pun intended). On one occasion, the elevators didn't work for almost 3 days. THREE DAYS. Forget about having to go up and down the most narrow staircase (two people cannot walk past each other), imagine if there was a medical emergency? 8) Condo board is made up of random people who don't live on the property and who get to decide how you live. Pros: 1) Location...

...The condo is full of Airbnb's, even during the lockdown and the stay-at-home orders I am seeing people coming from abroad and staying longer than the 2 weeks mandatory stay. There are a lot of sketchy-looking people staying for the weekend to do parties, they come without masks, yelling loud and party all night. One time the police came and knock off the door of an Airbnb next to my unit one can only wonder what sort of illegal activities they were doing in the building. The police stayed hidden for over 14 hours waiting for the person to return he never did, it was a very unpleasant situation as it is living in a building where you see a lot of people on hard drugs going to parties in the elevator! There is a constant line in the elevators, security is NOT nice, the trash room is always dirty and I have seen cockroaches a couple of times, I complained and they said they were going to fumigate the trash shoot but I am not 100% if they actually did it. And for some reason, the building is not even cheap...

...Pros - Nice location - Friendly concierge and cleaning personnel Cons - Poor management - Terrible gym - Constant construction noises and loud vehicles - Fees for using the elevators - Large lineups to use the elevators - Noisy, rowdy neighbors - They don't accept packages over a certain size...

...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...

...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...

...Had a friend who lived in the building and the endless party-goers on weekends, checking in and out of Airbnb's made it a pretty unbearable environment. I helped them find a new condo...

...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...

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.

...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...

...Don't pay too much attention to the negative reviews in here; most people are more motivated to review after a negative experience than after a positive experience. Pros: EXCELLENT location, Starbucks on the main floor, grocery shop less than 20ft away, great bunch of people, amenities are well maintained, good unit layouts, etc. Cons: As with virtually all other new buildings in DT Toronto, there are a few issues like elevator downtime, but if anything this building is better than average. Airbnb guests are generally better than the average condo dweller to be honest, and generally speaking, they tend to be quieter than a young/rowdy neighbor. Highly recommend!

I would give this building less then a start if it was possible!! Elevators dont work ! This is one of only buildings downtown that allows Airbnb so its a contestant party feels like living in a hotel or an ongoing pre drink ! Management is pathetic, about 70-80 percent of the building is renters so there are no owners present at any meetings and therefor no complaints are made so nothing changes. Management says its normal for elevators to be constantly broken, insulting our intelligence as if none of have lived in other buildings and should believe this is normal. People are constantly loud and partying, full of hookers, and shady characters on weekends. Drive way in back is super narrow and people always block it. Not your king west type people living here, most tenants are very vanilla, you wouldnt think this is a fashion district condo. Stay away at any price !

...This building is a disaster, one elevator is permanently down, and often times two of them are down. This makes the line-ups during rush hour span out the door and often have to wait 10 minutes just to board an elevator. This is due to the fact that the building was flooded shortly after it was build and the condo board refused to allocate proper funds to fix them permanently. The lobby is freezing in the winter and boiling in the summer as there is no air circulation. The security guard is rarely present and when he is, there is no control of who enters and exits the building. This building allows AirBnB rentals and during weekends and holidays, it is often packed with out-of-towners partying and leaving it a mess (breaking and scratching elevators, leaving beer bottles everywhere, peeing in the stairwell, making noise all night long). The amenities are practically non-existent, there is a gym with one machine, which is often broken, the treadmills and elliptical machines are not maintained so they are often out of commission too. The heater/air conditioner in the units do not fully turn on and off and management takes too long to switch from heat to cold, so often makes for a very uncomfortable experience during spring and fall...
