    Review Summary for 222 1 Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews for 222 1 Avenue highlight its convenient location and decent apartment sizes. However, recurring issues include poor water pressure, persistent pest problems like mice, and inadequate management responsiveness. Additionally, tenants express dissatisfaction with the short-lived hot water supply, lack of timely repairs, and the burden of handling heat and hot water expenses individually. Suggestions for improvement include addressing water quality, enhancing pest control measures, and enhancing management's response to tenant concerns. Overall, there is a consensus among reviewers that the building falls short of expectations, leading to a general reluctance to recommend it to others.

    Wouldn't recommend it
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Amazingly convenient location, small but good size apartment, only saw mice once and they sent a guy to put poison for it within the week
    Cons:
    Hot water always smelled like eggs, water never stayed hot for more than 3 minutes and they would NOT EVER come and fix it for you (I talked to multiple other tenants who were neighbors of mine who had these same two issues and they were never fixed for them either), mice, other tenants are bad about just putting their trash in the actual cans downstairs so it can pile up for days at a time downstairs and smell very bad, you pay for your own heat and hot water (not like you get any anyways but still)
    Advice to owner:
    Take care of the water situation! It shouldn't smell like egg anytime the hot water is running, and also only last for 3 minutes total!

    bad experience with the apt
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Close to the L train great food in the area
    Cons:
    really bad materials were used to construct the building, had mice problems and the landlord did little to help solve the issue.
    Advice to owner:
    be better
