    Review Summary for 119 1 Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews for 119 1st Avenue highlight significant issues with cleanliness, garbage management, pest control, and landlord responsiveness. Tenants complain about rodent and roach infestations, unclean common areas, and delayed maintenance. However, positive aspects include the convenient location, spacious apartments, and good neighbors. Recommendations urge improved maintenance practices, better pest control, and respectful treatment of tenants. Despite some positive aspects, the prevailing sentiment leans towards dissatisfaction due to the building's poor upkeep and unresponsive management, making it difficult for tenants to fully enjoy their living experience.

    Don’t live here!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Convenient location, “cheap” for the neighborhood (but still not worth it!!)
    Cons:
    Landlord was unhelpful, and creepy to my female roommate. We barely had heat in the winter. We had a mouse problem that was never dealt with. Unsurprising, as trash was kept in open bins in building entry. He wrongfully withheld our security deposit. We took him to small claims court and won but were never able to get the money back.
    Advice to owner:
    Take care of this building and respect your tenants.

    Horrible dump
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    You have the whole floor to yourself
    Cons:
    HORRIBLE! Rodent and roach infested! Trash in the hallway! Looks like it hasn’t been cleaned in years! The owner doesn’t care about fixing it. HORRID DUMP
    Advice to owner:
    Get an exterminator!
