Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 1073 1 Avenue in Manhattan emphasize its convenient location near transit and Trader Joe’s and friendly neighbors as positives. However, multiple tenants report serious issues including persistent pest infestations (rats, roaches, centipedes), poor cleanliness, and outdated facilities like noisy heaters and lack of basic amenities. Garbage management and noise levels are frequently noted as problematic. Owner and management responsiveness are widely criticized as slow, rude, or unhelpful, though a few mention a more responsive super and porters. While some find it acceptable for cheaper rent, overall the building suffers from maintenance neglect and management deficiencies, advising improvements in pest control, tenant communication, and upkeep.

Leaks, rats, German cockroaches, terrible leasing office
Former Tenant
Pros:
Porters do a great job and the super and building manager are at least responsive despite not being very helpful
Cons:
You will experience electrical issues, leaks, rats, mice, German cockroaches (the building refuses to do monthly pest maintenance), water clogs, and landlord resistance to properly replacing an appliance. Full size fridge broken? They will send you a mini fridge to save money. Rats? Well we won’t tests the building and seal holes but we can send you pest control to hand you some glue traps and wish you luck. The leases are also sketchy. They don’t allow pets or take ESA letters and issue a lease addendum, and the leases also say no window AC’s, yet all of these things are approved.
