Review Summary for 626 1 Avenue
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenants highlight the building's prime amenities, such as an indoor pool, a 2-story gym, and modern appliances. They appreciate the friendly doormen and neighbors; however, issues with noise insulation, delayed security deposit returns, and high additional charges for amenities are recurring concerns. Management responsiveness varies, with some facing challenges. Despite the luxury offerings, high rent without included amenities, and questionable ownership behavior lead to mixed recommendations. Overall, the building offers a lavish experience but needs improvements in management transparency and tenant satisfaction for a truly enjoyable living environment.
