Review Summary for 1681 1 Avenue
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant reviews of 1681 1 Avenue highlight the affordable rent, quick hot water, and frequent trash removal as positives. However, concerns include rat presence, run-down interiors, maintenance delays, and inconsistent heat. Suggestions include floor retiling, wall and ceiling repairs, and increased maintenance. Management is praised as attentive with a good location, but some tenants express distrust due to unauthorized construction, security issues, and old building conditions. Despite some advantages like location and quietness, improvements in renovation, pest control, and maintenance response are needed for a better living experience.

Affordable but needs updates
Former Tenant
Pros:
Water gets hot quickly, trash is taken out frequently, no packages are stolen, and affordable rent
Cons:
rats in front of building, interior leading up to apartment units are run down (cracked floors and walls, leaking ceiling, busted light), hard to reach building maintenance/super, heat was off for several months
Advice to owner:
retile floors, fix the ceilings and walls, address maintenance issues, patch the holes in the sidewalk to deter rats

Do not trust Management Company
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location is ok.
Cons:
Do not trust the Management Company they will do construction work inside building without City Working Permit placing tenants in danger, health and fire hazard. No security cameras in front of the building causing a lot of robberies inside the building. No building maintenance. Faulty electrical cables. NO efficient Heat provided.
Advice to owner:
Not a good option to move in if you are looking for a peaceful and safe building to live in. Especially if you are a grown-up and not 25 years old, which are the only people they rent the place to. The building is ancient and not well taken care of. The structure of the building is so old your walls shake when people slam their doors.
