Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 211 1 Avenue indicate a clean, well-maintained building with updated units and spacious layouts, appealing especially to roommates and those valuing proximity to the L train. The building benefits from a responsive management team and a neat lobby. However, several tenants report pest problems such as roaches and mice, inconsistent pest control efforts, and noise from the busy street and first avenue-facing bedrooms. Water pressure and heating quality have been flagged as inconsistent, and some renters experienced slow or no owner responsiveness. Despite some drawbacks, many appreciate the good neighbors and overall upkeep, though renters should weigh pros and cons carefully.
