Review Summary for 267 Edgecombe Avenue
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant reviews of 267 Edgecombe Avenue highlight its convenient location near amenities, quiet environment, and stable rent. However, concerns arise over inconsistent cleanliness, pest control issues, and unresponsive management. Safety is a significant worry due to unscreened tenants bringing crime and illicit activities. Despite some positives like friendly neighbors and helpful staff, the building faces challenges with theft, noise, and safety hazards. Improvement suggestions include thorough tenant vetting, enhanced security measures, and better communication from management. While the building has its merits, potential renters should be cautious and prioritize safety concerns when considering living here.

2023 building update
Former Tenant
Pros:
Laundry in the basement, elevator ( when its working), really nice sweet neighbors.
Cons:
The building isn't really cleaned. We just got a new super after not having a solid super on site for months. The management doesn't answer back in a timely manner and seems to always have an attitude about things renters are requesting. No matter how clean your apartment is if you floor neighbors aren't "clean" expect roaches and mice. floors are noisy and might need to get someone to plug up holes. Water sometimes come out brown and very low pressure. Oh and you may have to deal with people under the influence in the building late night.
Advice to owner:
Do a better job attending to your tenants before doing another Lease increase.

Unsafe and unhygienic!
Former Tenant
Pros:
The handful of long-standing tenants make the place bearable, but it’s not enough when considering your safety and health
Cons:
Several unvetted tenants moved into building during covid-19, which introduced problems with safety and cleanliness of the property. Currently there are drugs are being sold on premises by some of these tenants, with holdover court cases awaiting. These tenants have been violent-tempered, and have introduced other bad actors to the building. The building buzzers ring all day and all night with drug clients trying to enter. Packages are stolen on a daily basis along with destruction of property (spray painting of gang icons on courtyard floor, damage to security doors in front. Several homeless people have also made their way into the building to sleep under stairs and in laundry room. Cleanliness is nonexistent. The odor of crack, cigarette and pot smoke is persistent in all common areas of the building - floors and stairs were last mopped in 2019. No response from management, no matter the crisis. Stay away!
Advice to owner:
Respond to your tenants and address the problem instead if reflecting back responsibility

A crack dealer lives in the building
Former Tenant
Pros:
- It's a beautiful building and apparently it didn't have these issues prior to 2020
- Washers and dryers in the building & they're credit card operated
- Several supermarkets within walkable distance
- Right across from Jackie Robinson park
- a block and a half from major subway lines
Cons:
A crack dealer lives in this building. Everyone's buzzers get rung at every hour, day and night, by drug customers looking to get in, including people who sleep, defecate, and urinate in the stairways and laundry room. Drug customers have broken the door locks several times, and management has not fixed it the same day. There is a major roach infestation affecting several floors, and a rodent problem on the bottom two floors. The landlord misses some months with pest control coming, and pest control seems not effective. The management company is completely not responsive or communicative. Packages get stolen all the time. Another family lives in the building with a kid who has a gun and has threatened tenants with it. It's not safe or sanitary in the building.
Advice to owner:
Actually respond to your tenants and provide them information and solutions.

A once great buidling
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great location, close to the subway, and quiet street. Most tenants are nice, quiet, and a mix of professionals and students.
Cons:
Since the pandemic, the management company has been lax and unresponsive to tenants’ concerns regarding the new tenants the owners have taken on from the city to cover costs but have introduced an unsafe element in the building. More package thefts and noise in the building, as well as violent and unsafe situations.
Advice to owner:
Listen to your tenants and treat them with respect as many have lived here for several years.

started good but went downhill
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great location, responsive/helpful super, on-site laundry, some neighbors friendly, cameras work
Cons:
In past year or so, big uptick in package thievery, loitering in lobby, increased traffic of people who don’t live there, neighbors loud fighting and blasting music, suspect activity and even an armed robbery
Advice to owner:
Be more thorough vetting new residents and respond quicker to existing residents, implement safety measures (virtual doorman, in-person security guard)
