    Review Summary for 1420 York Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 1420 York Avenue reveal mixed experiences. Tenants appreciate the building's good location, access to transportation, roof deck, and on-site laundry facilities. Many note generally friendly neighbors and effective heating. However, concerns persist about inconsistent cleanliness, occasional pest issues (notably past roach infestations), and variable garbage management. Noise levels vary, with some complaints about loud environments. A common critique is the owner's and super's responsiveness, especially during summer periods when temporary staff seem unhelpful. Limited washer/dryer units and occasional water pressure issues are also mentioned. Overall, renters value the building's amenities and location but urge better maintenance and management responsiveness.

    The super leaves for the entire summer, and whomever is covering for those few months is always shady, unresponsive and rude
