Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for 1 University Place emphasize its unbeatable Manhattan location with spacious pre-war units featuring high ceilings and natural light. The building benefits from friendly supers and generally helpful maintenance staff. However, management responsiveness is a common concern, with reports of slow communication, strict and outdated policies, and tenant-unfriendly practices. Recurring issues include pest problems, particularly cockroaches, noisy and prolonged construction with scaffolding still present after years, slow and insufficient elevator service, and dirty or poorly maintained common areas such as basements and laundry rooms. Despite these drawbacks, some renters appreciate the well-kept apartments and overall convenience of living here.

Amazing doorman and super. Building has many issues for price.

Pros

Doormen are fantastic and super helpful. So is the super.

Cons

Cockroach issues in laundry room and also in some apartments. They offer exterminator once a month but that isn’t a great sign. Ongoing issue with radiator system where it is incredibly noisy in certain apartments. Avoid apartments on H line! Also no sunlight at all even during day in H line apartments. Very slow elevators.

Advice to the owners

Fix the radiator noise issues!! Try to solve pest issues. Stop closing laundry room for holidays !

Great Location, Problematic Building

Pros

Location is the best. Every train is situated within a couple of blocks. Convenient to all shopping, the park etc. Studio size is good with separate kitchen. Good heat, good super.

Cons

Homeless wander over from the park. Deli cooks food in basement. Pre War building with asbestos, mold, chemicals. Constant renovations. Laundry fumes in courtyard.

Advice to the owners

Move laundry vent to the roof. Get better trashbins.
