    Review Summary for 1274 5 Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Tenants at 1274 5 Avenue appreciate the building's prime location near Central Park, pet-friendly and renovated units, and helpful superintendents. Positive aspects also include secure mail/package handling and a renovated gym. However, the building struggles with noise—especially street-facing apartments due to proximity to a hospital and fire station—and inconsistent heating and cooling systems. Pest issues, particularly mice infestations, have been reported. Management is often criticized for slow responsiveness, poor upkeep of common areas, misleading amenity advertising, and lack of a doorman. Safety concerns and construction disruptions also affect residents’ experience. Overall, renters see potential but urge improvements in maintenance and management transparency.

    Missed Potential on 5th Ave
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Lovely Long-term tenants, pet friendly, updated apartments, responsive super, close to transit.
    Cons:
    Akelius is slow to respond to maintenance requests (if they respond at all), common area upkeep is lax, misleading advertising of apartments on StreetEasy, property management turns over like the seasons.

    No Doorman, ON 5TH AVE.

    The landlord refuses to maintain city sidewalk from trash and debris. It has been fined by sanitation multiple times and has been summoned to court. This is a 5th Ave building that maintains the exterior like a NYCHA property.

    Foodbank line wraps in front of the building causing trash accumulation and a blocked entrance. Landlord has NOT worked on a solution.
    Advice to owner:
    Quit prioritizing profits; fund upkeep of building to raise property value. The amenities advertised online should be included in the rent price, or do not offer them. It's deceptive.

    Beware of mice
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    It is a nice building, located very close to Central Park
    Cons:
    Unfortunately, the whole property is infested with mice. You can hear them on the walls and it is very difficult to control.
