    Review Summary for 884 Riverside Drive
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 884 Riverside Drive indicate significant issues. Garbage management is poor, with pest problems persisting despite efforts. Noise levels and cleanliness are major concerns, impacting residents' comfort. Management's responsiveness and integrity are criticized, leading to legal disputes and security deposit issues. While some appreciate the location and rent prices, shady practices like theft by the superintendent tarnish the building's reputation.

    Great for a Transplant; Once you know, then go!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    It is a great place if you come from out of town and do not know NY.
    Cons:
    The trash is always piled up. Leave dishes out 1 time and you may see a friend.

    Perpetual cockroach problem, constant night noise, and shady management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Relatively cheap rent.
    Cons:
    They send in an exterminator every month who dabs little pieces of poison in a few places, this does nothing for the roaches.

    There's constant night noise, especially in the summer that often goes on until 3am.

    Finally, LAP Partners, the building management illegally withheld my security deposit, citing a variety of reasons (several fictitious, none valid) well after 14 day period mandated by New York City law.
    Advice to owner:
    Take an ethics course and hire some good lawyers, because the NY AG isn't messing around anymore.
