Review Summary for 56 Fort Washington Ave
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Tenant reviews for 56 Fort Washington Ave highlight a mixed living experience. The building offers spacious layouts, convenient subway access, and a friendly neighbor community, with many praising the helpful super and gated entry. However, persistent pest problems—especially roaches and rats in the basement and laundry area—are a major concern, compounded by inconsistent maintenance and slow management responsiveness. Issues with elevator reliability, occasional noise from nearby hospitals and fire stations, and cleanliness in common areas are frequently mentioned. While some recommend the building for its location and neighbors, others advise management to improve pest control, security, and communication to enhance tenant satisfaction.
