Review Summary for 284 5 Avenue
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews highlight a mix of experiences at 284 5 Avenue. Tenants appreciate the classic New York living aspects like high ceilings and bright bathrooms. Some encountered pest issues like mice and roaches, while others found the apartments truly gorgeous but plagued by roaches. The building's convenient location and pet-friendly policy are positives, but slow management response and noise pollution are concerns. Despite varied opinions on cleanliness and maintenance, the general vibe of friendly neighbors adds to the charm, making it a suitable option for those seeking a unique NYC living experience.

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
Over 2 years ago
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
