    Review Summary for 121 Madison Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Tenant reviews for 121 Madison Avenue praise its prime Manhattan location, attentive and professional doormen, secure package handling, well-maintained common areas, and spacious renovated apartments with historic charm. Residents value the building's rooftop access with city views and convenient amenities like laundry and a supermarket. However, renters note noise from nearby streets, parades, and ongoing construction as a consistent issue. Some units are small or outdated, with occasional pest problems reported, particularly on lower floors. Garbage management and elevator wait times could improve. While management is often responsive, a few tenants experienced billing disputes and slow maintenance. Overall, it offers a safe, clean living environment with a vibrant neighborhood, appealing mostly to those prioritizing location and staff over luxury.

    Great Location, Okay Building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Very nice staff. Great management. Amazing location.
    Cons:
    Slightly overpriced for how small some units are. It is on a noisier street. Some bathrooms are tiny and need updating.

    Loved living here
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Very attentive staff, my (renovated) apartment was lovely, super nice appliances, fabulous and huge bathroom (says a lot for NYC), central air, and decently priced for what you get. Central location and never ever had a package stolen. Never had to fight for laundry. Loved using the well maintained roof!! I only moved because I was moving out of the city but I honestly loved it here and would rent again. And I loved that they decorate the lobby for holidays :) Got my security deposit back in full!
    Cons:
    Biggest con was the loiters across the street. There’s scaffolding across the way and people would be out there EVERY NIGHT (and I’m talking full families with young children) making noise, sometimes until the late hours. While it never really interrupted my sleeping, it was annoying. And the parades on Madison Ave. If this building was 5 blocks south, it would be PERFECT.
    Advice to owner:
    Get those people out lol
