    Review Summary for 270 Ft Washington Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews for 270 Ft Washington Avenue point out the building's affordability, convenient location near NYP, and spacious units as significant advantages. However, common complaints include unresponsive and negligent building management, recurring pest issues, and theft of delivered packages. Residents commend the friendly neighbors and laundry facilities but highlight the need for improved management responsiveness, pest control efficacy, and security measures. Overall, while the building offers value for its price, prospective renters should consider the management's shortcomings and potential maintenance concerns before moving in.

    Not too terrible!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Street was quiet, there were sign ups for pest control, neighbors were nice.
    Cons:
    The super was pretty unresponsive and would be away from the building on weekends. When we did come in contact with him he was not kind.

    Fine building, Bad management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The walls are thick, it’s hard to hear noise unless it’s coming from the hallways. The in building laundry is fairly reliable. Pet friendly.
    Cons:
    Management is negligent. They don’t respond to dangerous/hazardous complaints in an appropriate manner (if at all). Theft is a big problem in the building as well and management does nothing to solve it. Elevator issues often so not very accessible (also no accessible entrance).
    Advice to owner:
    Respond to and fix physical issues tenants bring up before they become a hazardous legal issue
