    Review Summary for 2186 5 Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Tenant reviews for 2186 5 Avenue reveal a mixed living experience. The building's prime location and presence of doorman, laundry facilities, and elevators are clear highlights. Some praise the spacious, clean apartments with good water pressure and a sense of community. However, many renters express dissatisfaction with management’s slow responsiveness, maintenance delays, and pest issues including roaches and mice. Noise from neighbors and nearby hospital ambulances is frequently noted, as is inconsistent heating. Cleanliness and garbage management are inconsistent, with several suggesting improved pest control and quicker management response. While some recommend the building, others advise caution due to ongoing upkeep and management challenges.
