    Review Summary for 1642 Lexington Ave
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 1642 Lexington Ave highlight a well-maintained building with a responsive and friendly superintendent, and a prime location close to the subway. Tenants generally appreciate the good heating and water pressure, as well as respectful neighbors. However, noise from Lexington Avenue-facing units and pest issues like mice and bed bugs have been noted, with suggestions for enhanced pest control efforts. While some residents praise management responsiveness, others express difficulty in communication for lease documentation. The absence of on-site laundry facilities is another drawback mentioned. Overall, it remains a mostly recommended rent-stabilized building with room for improvement in pest management and noise control.
