    Review Summary for 1233 York Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.

While some units boast cleanliness, good neighbor relations, and responsive staff, others suffer from poor insulation and heating issues. The pending demolition raises concerns about comfort and long-term residence. Positive aspects include stunning views, respectful staff, and on-site amenities like laundry.

    Good till it was gone
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Beautiful views from the balcony if you face the right direction.
    Cons:
    Loud and very poorly insulated means insane AC bills in the summer and uncomfortable temperature swings.

    Nice building but poorly maintained depending on the unit
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Doormen are nice, building is always kept clean, very few bugs seen in 6+ years. Subsidized student building at well below market rate.
    Cons:
    Some units are better maintained than others. Building will be torn down soon so heat wasn't working in last few months I was there.
