Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 69 1st Avenue reveal ongoing issues such as poor cleanliness, inadequate pest control, and maintenance neglect. Despite a convenient location and quiet neighbors in some cases, residents face challenges like rent hikes, pest problems, and outdated amenities. The management's lack of responsiveness and subpar upkeep contribute to a less-than-ideal living experience. Suggestions include upgrading windows, prioritizing cleanliness, and hiring better contractors for renovations. Overall, the building falls short of justifying its market value due to its aging infrastructure and inconsistent services, making it a less recommended option for prospective tenants.

No real maintenance
Former Tenant
Pros:
The neighborhood is great.
Cons:
Prohibited from cleaning outside of windows in lease but they haven’t been cleaned in years, the hallways are almost never cleaned and even then just a quick sweep, no particular amenities to make this building worth it in any way. They leave graffiti and bird poop all over the front until a couple days before they expect to list an apartment. The doors often have gaps and so you can hear all the hallway noises. They use the same description for every apartment in the building when listing. Any work they did was cheaply done and often used incorrect materials (like the wrong caulking). The staircases and outcroppings on the walls have years worth of dust built up.
Advice to owner:
Pay a service to clean the place once in a while so it looks bare minimum presentable.
