    Review Summary for 1796 Broadway
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Tenants at 1796 Broadway praise its prime Manhattan location, friendly doormen, and well-maintained interiors with modern upgrades. Many enjoy the rooftop terrace with breathtaking views and appreciate the building's generally quiet atmosphere and good pest control. However, recurring issues with prolonged and poorly communicated construction, especially elevator outages and lobby renovations, are a common complaint. While some find the management team friendly and attentive, others criticize their slow responsiveness to maintenance requests. Noise insulation between units varies, with some reporting soundproof concrete walls while others note little noise buffering. Overall, renters value the staff and location but urge improvements in repair timeliness and communication.

    Worst construction management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    At least they are trying to fix stuff
    Cons:
    Everything breaks and it’s takes them MONTHS to repair. Don’t think I have ever lived here in my five years and the elevators actually worked. One has been out for five months. Five months!!?!?
    Advice to owner:
    Fix things quicker. Invest in better people and things so they can be fixed easier

    great building but everything is broken
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    location, location, location
    great staff and manager, especially Jerry
    Cons:
    everything is broken. elevators constantly down. redoing the entire lobby floor...again. little notice or communication for how long doors will be closed.

    Water systems constantly down for repairs.

    they replaced the unit HVAC and they are terrible. they can't seem to do any work on the building correctly.
    Advice to owner:
    give notice to how long repairs will take. I moved out as I can't live with no communication.
