    Review Summary for 770 St Nicholas Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant feedback for 770 St Nicholas Avenue highlights significant management challenges, notably poor responsiveness and inadequate maintenance. Many residents report issues with heating inefficiency, pest infestations, and building disrepair, including structural concerns. While some appreciate the helpfulness of the super and the sense of community among neighbors, overall cleanliness and noise levels vary negatively. Garbage management receives mixed reviews but is generally better managed than other aspects. The building's reputation is marred by safety concerns and unreliable promises of improvements, making it a less attractive option for those prioritizing comfort, upkeep, and attentive management.

    HORRIBLE MANAGEMENT, Stay away
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    It's convenient, that's it.
    Cons:
    Management does not respond to anything but a 311 ticket through the city. They are actively letting the building ROT.

    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great super that’s willing to fix and help you with anything wrong in the apartment. Neighbors are like family members and helpful.
    Cons:
    During the winter your better off living outside since that’s exactly what the inside of the apartment feels like. No heat when it’s needed, but I promise you that when the weather hits a 45-55 degrees the heat is on blast like you needed it. The cheapest supplies to fix what ever is wrong in the apartment. He rather spend less and fix with a cheaper item and have it get broken again and repeat 6 months later than invest in the good to last years.
