Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 2070 Frederick Douglass Blvd highlight its excellent location in Harlem, proximity to the subway, and good natural light with high ceilings. Tenants appreciate generally clean common areas, responsive superintendents, and friendly neighbors that contribute to a welcoming community. However, some note issues with slow maintenance responses, occasional pest problems, limited storage, and inconsistent heating, especially on upper floors. Laundry facilities are limited and sometimes out of order. Noise levels vary, with some experiencing mild disturbances. Overall, the building is favored for its affordability and location, though management could improve communication and maintenance efficiency to enhance tenant satisfaction.
