The flats are located in a restored historic warehouse in Thomas Burns St and opened about a year ago.
Last month, the Tenancy Tribunal terminated the tenancy of an occupant of the Suzanne Lund Community Loft Apartments, Quentin Rihari, after it found he threatened to harm his neighbours.
The flats are run by the Salvation Army, which brought the case to the tribunal, claiming Rihari had displayed anti-social behaviour there on three occasions.
The decision said that in December last year the tenant was fighting in the shared hallway from 3.30am to 5am and broke a painting on the wall.
In February, he was playing loud music in his room and verbally abused other tenants when asked to turn it down.
Rihari threw plastic chairs from his balcony before letting off an lpg bottle in the hallway and yelling "boom boom you can all die", in April.
Police removed Rihari from the complex, but when he returned he called the other tenants "narks" and threatened to punch one.
The tribunal said because the three instances of anti-social behaviour did not occur within the required timeframe, his tenancy could not be terminated on that basis.
But it determined the tenancy should still be terminated because of the threats to harm his neighbours and as Rihari specifically threatened to assault one.
Salvation Army national director of social housing Greg Foster said the apartment block was "a wonderful place, actually".
"I think the best judge is of how well it’s gone are the tenants," he said.
The tenants were regularly surveyed and most of the feedback was positive, Mr Foster said.
"Just unbelievably awesome place" and "a really great place to stay" were among the reviews from renters.
"It has allowed me to feel safe and secure, which in turn has turned my whole life around; also not being judged," another said.
Mr Foster said occasionally there were issues at some of the social housing villages the Salvation Army ran.
"Of course you have the challenges because you’ve got 30 people living in an apartment complex.
"Not everyone gets on at times, so we try and address that where we can," he said.
Asked if issues with tenants like this were foreseeable, Mr Foster replied: "No, but it happens".
He was not sure if this was the first case from the Suzanne Lund Community Loft Apartments to be taken to the tribunal.
"I think what happened [here] is that tenants have responsibilities and we make people accountable for their actions."
Mr Foster said he was not happy about the publicity the case had received — and neither was Rihari.
The tenant took to Facebook to express his frustration.
He denied any wrongdoing and claimed the termination was due to a conspiracy against him.
"I didn’t wanna live in that s... building from the start," he wrote.
