    Review Summary for 169 Manhattan Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews for 169 Manhattan Avenue highlight key aspects. The building offers renovated units with modern amenities like dishwashers and in-unit washers/dryers. The location near parks is praised, but security issues including package theft and pests are major concerns. The building lacks responsive management, with tenants facing challenges in communication and resolving issues. Despite some positive features like private terraces and good neighbors, the persistent problems with theft, pests, and rent increases are major drawbacks. Improvement in building management and security measures is crucial for a better tenant experience.

    Awful building management

    Pros:
    Very good neighbors
    Cons:
    Cockroaches, you pay for all utilities including heat and hot water, Boiler in apartment washer dryers in apartment never work or keep breaking and you have to pay out of pocket to get it fixed.
    Advice to owner:
    Better communication between landlord and tenants

    Buggy and SO Many Stolen Packages
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Units are renovated with Dishwasher and in-unit washer/dryer combo! Also functional elevator which is great!
    Cons:
    Over the course of living here for a year on the 4th floor, we have had a water bug/roach presence for 7 months and several mouse instances over the last 3 months. The super is on top of scheduling exterminators and people to fix issues, but they keep coming back, so it is definitely a building issue.

    I have also personally had over $500 worth of packages stolen from the lobby and right outside of our apartment door. The building is monitored with cameras, but they do not allow tenants to view the footage unless it is through the Police. It is a persistent issue, so I believe a tenant is behind the theft.
