    Review Summary for 1705 Lexington Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 1705 Lexington Avenue highlight mixed feedback. Tenants appreciate the in-unit washer/dryer and cleanliness but face challenges like poor appliance maintenance, unresponsive management, and pest issues. While some find the owner reasonable and the building quiet, others mention high heating costs, water quality concerns, and occasional roach sightings.

    Absentee landlord
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Washer dryer in unit, decent size kitchen
    Cons:
    Poorly maintained appliances, impossible to reach management; we didn't get lead notices, my partner got a concussion because a WINDOW FELL IN when we had reported that the window had broken side latches to the super months prior, and we couldn't reach managment or the landlord or anything? Also the washer spits out chunks of dirt sometimes, and when you try to run a bath random spurts of rust come up.
    Advice to owner:
    Maybe have management that's not just "tell the super if there are any issues"?

    A trade off
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    the washer and dryer is great
    Cons:
    The heat is electric and not efficient. One month in the winter we paid over $350 in heat bills. The water from the tap occasionally comes out brown. I also saw several roaches in the time I lived there. Super lives on the same block and is somewhat responsive. Owner seems overall reasonable.
    Advice to owner:
    Roaches and heat need fixing
