Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 720 Riverside Drive reveal a building with spacious apartments offering beautiful views and a culturally rich community. Tenants appreciate the prime location near Riverside Park and generally friendly neighbors. However, persistent issues include poor cleanliness in hallways, inadequate garbage management attracting pests, and frequent water leaks leading to mold and structural damage. The building suffers from outdated infrastructure, ineffective maintenance, and a largely unresponsive management. Although rent-stabilized, these maintenance and pest control challenges diminish living comfort. Improvements in upkeep, pest eradication, and proactive management responsiveness would significantly enhance the tenant experience.

Reviews of 720 Riverside Drive

Former tenant·5 minutes ago

You get what you pay for…

Pros

The building itself was once beautiful. The apartment is spacious with great sunlight and views. Some older details still intact. Some great neighbors and perfect spot on gorgeous tree-lined riverside drive

Cons

The halls are pretty dirty and some apartments are in bad need of repair. The trash situation is pretty gross with lots of rats. Some problems with leaks.

Advice to the owners

Take care of the dirty halls, the trash, the leaks please!!

A Dangerous Slum

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 the owners

Sell the property to someone who will not be negligent and put tenants in danger!
