Review Summary for 1520 York Avenue

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.

Recent reviews for 1520 York Avenue praise its cleanliness, modern appliances, and attentive doormen, contributing to a comfortable living experience. Many appreciate effective heating, strong water pressure, and good pest control. However, renters report challenges with noise due to thin walls and neighbors, often disturbed by frequent weed smoke despite a non-smoking policy. Maintenance responsiveness varies, with some citing slow resolution of issues like leaks and building wear. Rent increases are seen as steep, causing financial strain for some residents. While the building offers appealing amenities, improvements in soundproofing, stricter enforcement of smoking rules, and fairer rent policies would enhance tenant satisfaction.

Paper thin walls + Weed Smoke

Former Tenant

Pros:

Friendly doormen and staff.

Cons:

Old building and the smell of weed smoke was a daily occurrence. Building is “non-smoking” but this is far from the case and management will do NOTHING but send out an occasional email. I had to open my windows all year before my lease ended from 30 degree or below weather to 90+ days just to avoid my bedroom from filling with the neighbor’s smoke. I even went through the desperate measure of moving my entire bed from the bedroom to the living room. If you are neighbors with dogs/toddlers you will hear everything. No sleeping in whatsoever. For more than a year there was massive leaking from the upstair bathroom, mold, and a hole that maintenance would patch over that would then leak all over again. Door knob was old and loose and fell out into the hallway at one point.

Advice to owner:

Do something about smokers
