Review Summary for 284 5 Avenue
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 284 5 Avenue highlight the building's classic architectural charm with high ceilings, decorative moldings, and spacious, well-lit units that appeal to those valuing style and pets allowed. The location is convenient with generally friendly neighbors balancing privacy well. However, maintenance and management responsiveness receive mixed feedback; some find staff slow to address issues. Pest control remains a significant concern, especially with roach and occasional mice sightings. Cleanliness, particularly in hallways and garbage management, needs improvement. Noise from the street and older windows can be drawbacks for light sleepers. Overall, it suits renters prioritizing aesthetics and community but seeking improved upkeep and management attentiveness.

So. Many. Roaches
Former Tenant
Pros:
Beautiful apartments, truly gorgeous
Cons:
Roaches started raining from the ceiling of my unit once spring hit—coming out of the fireplace and door frames and molding.
Advice to owner:
Put trash outside not in basement

Classic New York living, good and bad
Former Tenant
Pros:
High ceilings, molding, walk-in closet, bright bathroom
Cons:
Did have mice twice and lots of roaches. Went through every kind of trap / sonic repeller / etc. Lots of street noise, but no noise from neighbors
