    Review Summary for 1479 York Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 1479 York Avenue reveal a mix of positives and significant drawbacks. Renters appreciate the apartment size, closet space, and location. However, major concerns include poor building cleanliness, mismanaged garbage causing odors, and problematic heating that is inconsistent across seasons. Pest control appears to be a persistent issue, especially with mice, and many tenants report unresponsive and problematic management, including delayed security deposits and communication lapses. Noise levels and neighbors receive mixed feedback. Although some tenants have seen improvements under new management, overall maintenance and landlord responsiveness require substantial attention to improve tenant satisfaction.

    Terrible Landlord - Avoid At All Costs
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Nice location, responsive maintenance team
    Cons:
    Landlord is TERRIBLE (they don't pay their own utility bills, tried to illegally extra charge rent, 20%+ rent increases after first year, security deposit was 2+ weeks late), very dirty building (garbage kept inside of the building without any proper containment, so the smell was always horrible in the hallways)
    Advice to owner:
    Get out of the real estate business

    Decent apartment
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Everything for the most part was great. Cute, functional, nice sized apartment. Good amount of closet space and good size kitchen.
    Cons:
    Hot air rises so our apartment was always extremely warm. We were on one of the upper floors so always had to have our windows open. Biggest issue we had was a massive mice issue. Once they came in we couldn’t get them out. Management was terrible at handling it but I’ve since learned they’ve gotten new and hopefully better management. Mostly loved the apartment though.
    Advice to owner:
    Handle problems when they arise.
