    Review Summary for 251 Ft Washington Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews of 251 Ft Washington Avenue highlight a mix of experiences. Positive aspects include the location, responsiveness of the live-in superintendent, well-maintained pre-war building, and convenient access to transportation. However, concerns were raised about occasional roach issues, difficulty reaching the management company, high rent increases, and inconsistent owner responsiveness. Recommendations were made for better pest control, improved lighting, and enhanced management of maintenance requests. Overall, the building offers a good tenant experience with responsive management, but certain aspects like rent increases and pest control need attention for a more seamless living experience.
