    Review Summary for 12 5 Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 12 5 Avenue emphasize the building’s prime Greenwich Village location and generally well-maintained, clean environment with renovated units. Tenants value the responsive owner and appreciate good water pressure and pest control. However, noise from street traffic and neighboring construction is a recurring issue. Elevator reliability problems and occasional inconsistent garbage management have also been highlighted. While neighbors are mostly friendly, the super has received mixed feedback. Renters recommend reporting concerns directly to the owner due to prompt resolutions. Overall, the building suits those seeking centrality and clean living spaces but may pose challenges with noise and building upkeep.

    Nice Building, Meh Super
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Building is generally well-maintained and residents are nice. Apartments themselves have nice kitchens and bathrooms. I was facing the back of the building and until construction started next door had no noise issues. Love the neighborhood.
    Cons:
    I lived on a lower floor, so not a high walk-up but the elevator was CONSTANTLY broken. I don't know how tenants on higher floors dealt with this--to the extent I would be asking for a partial refund on rent. The super also tried to impose hours of operation for the laundry room, however when I brought this up to the owner they reversed the decision and said they hadn't known the super was doing that. Would recommend bringing up issues to the owner for quick resolution.
    Advice to owner:
    Implement long-term fix to elevator.
