Peter Street Condos, Toronto Condo Reviews 

...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...

...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...

...I've owned my condo for almost 6 months now and all I can say is that this location is PRIME! It's steps away from the grocery store, minutes away from Chinatown, and many transit options. As for the elevator issues, a lot of people are complaining about, to be honest, it's on par with every Toronto condo. I've lived in a condo by Yonge and Bloor and their elevators are worse. I have no issues with noise or garbage on my level, maybe perhaps my level has more long term rented units than Airbnb ones. I'm really happy with this condo and you really can't go wrong with the location and attractions near it...

...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...

...I am currently a tenant at 101 Peter Street and I have been living there for 6 months now. Before moving in there was mention from other tenants about how the elevators are always down or very slow, but I did not think it would be too bad. Now having lived here, just in the past 2 weeks I have gotten stuck in the elevator three times, twice for 5-10 minutes in the middle elevator, and this morning for 20 minutes in the left elevator. The locking mechanisms on the elevators do not always work, so you can get in but they do not always let you out. Management has been aware of this issue for over a month now and we have been told that people have been coming in to repair the elevators also for months, but they are still not fixed. The first time I got stuck in the elevator, I told the front desk person and they were not even phased by it because it is such a common occurrence. This is DANGEROUS and it is concerning that this is still an ongoing issue. An elderly woman told me she was stuck in the elevator for an hour and had a panic attack. This is not safe. Management needs to do something about this, especially because the stairs are not available to walk up to our apartments, only down, and with 30+ floors it is not realistic for some people to walk up that many flights regardless. I am hoping that this post will get management's attention since my emails and phone calls have not. Stay away from this building if you do not want to spend your time stuck in their elevators...

...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...

...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...

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 terrible.

The elevators are constantly out of service.
Concierge isn't 24 hour, so noise complaint's can't be handled.
Units become uncomfortably, hot as they switch the cooling system off too soon in the fall, and then don't reactivate it soon enough. There appear to be issues with the rigging system, so no window cleaning happens (although apparently you're supposed to clean your own if you can access them).

...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...

...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...
