    Review Summary for 820 Riverside Drive
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews for 820 Riverside Drive highlight a beautiful building with a quiet setting and responsive super and landlord. Positive aspects include a lovely courtyard area, quiet environment, and attentive staff. However, some issues point to a non-functioning virtual doorman, cockroach problems, and maintenance concerns like a faulty intercom system and lack of renovations in common areas. Recommendations include fixing the intercom system, addressing pest control, and improving common areas to attract new tenants effectively. Despite some drawbacks, the building's well-kept common areas and convenient neighborhood are valued by residents.

    Fabulous Building !
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Super is an actual angel, so kind and responsive
    Building is beautiful and has a lovely little courtyard area
    Very quiet, set back from the road
    Landlord was very kind and worked with us through some issues we had
    Cons:
    Virtual Doorman was not working our whole time living there
    Over 2 years ago
    Okay for people who just need a basic living space
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The interior of the units were generally renovated. My unit had in-unit laundry, dishwasher, and stainless steel appliances. Rooms were generally a decent size compared to what you usually see in other NYC apartments. The apartment also has rent stabilized units.
    Cons:
    The building has a cockroach problem and you will see them in the stairwell often in the summer. The roaches sometimes sometimes make their way into the units too. They market the apartment as having a new app-controlled intercom system but it doesn’t work and it doesn’t seem like it will be fixed any time soon. Overall, it doesn’t seem like management cares to make any renovations to the apartment common areas or the exterior which makes it unappealing compared to the other apartment buildings in the area.
    Advice to owner:
    Please fix the intercom system!!! And deal with the cockroaches. Also renovate the stairways/lobbies because they don’t incentivize any new tenants to want to move in on top of the other issues that I’ve already mentioned.
