Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of 85 4 Avenue highlight a prime Manhattan location with friendly and attentive doormen and building staff, clean common areas, and strong water pressure. However, issues include inconsistent heating with no individual control, occasional cockroach and pest presence, thin walls causing noise concerns, and slow elevators. Garbage management is generally good, though some note occasional maintenance delays and a lacking responsiveness from new management. The building's older infrastructure, such as small windows and dated units, is noted alongside requests for renovations. Rent increases and management communication have drawn criticism, but many still recommend living here for its safety and convenience.

Reviews of 85 4 Avenue

Nice starter apartment

Pros

Nice doormen, safe, quiet

Cons

Cockroach issue, bad property management

Former tenant·4 months ago

Terrible new management: Rose Associates

Pros

Great building staff. Very clean lobby.

Cons

Overheated building requires you to keep windows open all the time in the winter. Very old bones in this building. Only a single elevator, and no stair access to the basement (garbage room and laundry) is awful. Rose Associates is such a pain.
