Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews praise 280 Riverside Drive as a beautiful pre-war building with spacious units and a convenient Upper West Side location near the park. Tenants highlight the friendly, helpful doormen and generally respectful neighbors, contributing to a quiet and safe atmosphere. Water pressure is strong, though heating quality varies somewhat. Common concerns include occasional pest issues—especially roaches in the basement—and occasional maintenance challenges like frequent laundry machine breakdowns and elevator problems. Some express frustration with high amenity fees for limited access to facilities such as the gym and rooftop. Management responsiveness receives mixed feedback, with calls for improved pest control and fairer amenity policies.

Great Building Overall

Pros

Pre-War building, the doormen are extremely nice and helpful, walls are thick and the tenants are nice and respectful

Cons

Additional expenses to use amenities that should be accessible to the building (room, gym - I have seen 1-2 people on the roof since moving in it seems a waste to have it not be used but the pricing is so high). The elevator has been consistently broken on one side of the building which is frustrating, but they do use the service to get us up and down. Also, lots of roaches in the basement but seems to be addressed quickly when letting the super know.

Advice to the owners

Remove the fees on the amenities - clearly you are not making money off of it since no one uses the roof and gym and it will drive the buildings worth
