Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Tenant reviews of 1701 Amsterdam Avenue reveal a mix of experiences. The building offers spacious apartments with high ceilings and a helpful superintendent, along with convenient transit access. Heating generally works well in winter, and monthly pest control is provided. However, pest issues persist for some, with reports of rodents and insects. Cleanliness and garbage management vary, and noise from the busy street and drug activity nearby affect safety perceptions. Responsiveness of management is inconsistent, and calls for building modernization and deeper cleaning are common. While some tenants recommend the building for its value and size, others suggest improvements to enhance comfort and security.

Almost a decade here
Former Tenant
Pros:
I've been living here quite some time. You get what you pay for. The one bedroom apartments are super big. The superintendent, Jonas, is so helpful and friendly. The heat works in the winter. It's good.
Cons:
I wish there was less rodents and insects.
Advice to owner:
I just wish there were less rodents/insects
