    Review Summary for 720 Riverside Drive
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 720 Riverside Drive in Manhattan highlight significant concerns. Tenants report issues like water leaks causing mold, unresponsive management, poor maintenance leading to pest problems, theft of packages, and overall neglect of building upkeep. While some appreciate the spaciousness and location, the recurring problems with cleanliness, maintenance, and pest control are major drawbacks. Residents advise urgent attention to building repairs, improving pest control, and enhancing overall maintenance standards to provide a safe and comfortable living environment. The consensus leans towards caution rather than recommendation due to these persistent issues.

    A Dangerous Slum
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The apartment did look nice on first glance, and was very spacious. The location is good.
    Cons:
    Pipes have not been updated in a century, water pours from the ceiling and causes mold. When I lived here, I had a permanent sinus infection from the mold. Management is unresponsive or lies, maintenance staff lied about fixing the problem dozens of times, and would just plaster and paint over the mold.
    Advice to owner:
    Sell the property to someone who will not be negligent and put tenants in danger!

    Borderline Slum lords
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Shower water pressure, apartment space
    Cons:
    Landlord non responsiveness to crumbling structure, Cockroaches, building Super lack of detail when fixing issues. Radiator gushing water. Floors are warped and dented in badly due to years of continuous ignored water leaks that pour down from multiple floors above my apartment.
    Advice to owner:
    Fix water leaks and Radiator massive leak. Super just covers leaks with plaster until ceiling collapses again. Owner got rid of maintenance worker that let cockroaches get overwhelmingly bad. Thats the only good thing. I am rounding about tenant information to make a formal complaint about ignored DOB violations and utilizing media outlets as a tool.
