Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 130 1 Avenue praise the building’s updated and clean interiors, with new appliances and generally friendly neighbors. Residents highlight strong water pressure and functioning heating systems once resolved. However, persistent issues include poor garbage management, noise from nearby restaurants and neighbors, and a problematic package theft situation with no adequate solution yet. Pest problems, particularly mice, and occasional cigarette odors further detract from living experience. Despite responsive management in some cases, inconsistent owner responsiveness and small living spaces have also been noted. These factors contribute to mixed recommendations, emphasizing caution before leasing here.

Lipstick on a pig
Former Tenant
Pros:
New appliances and updated bathrooms
Cons:
Can hear mice in the walls and they refuse to solve this issue. You can hear music playing nonstop all day and night from surrounding restaurants. Smells like cigarettes in the unit. Can’t open windows unless you want to smell fried food from the restaurants next door or cigs from the alleyway
