Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 1471 St Nicholas Avenue reveal significant challenges despite some redeeming qualities. Renters note the building is rent-stabilized, offers affordable units with in-unit laundry and dishwashers, and benefits from friendly neighbors and good water pressure. However, the building suffers from severe noise issues due to a loud surrounding neighborhood, pervasive pest infestations, frequent maintenance delays, and unreliable heating. Security concerns are notable with broken front door locks and no doorman, leading to safety worries. Garbage management and cleanliness are often criticized, and communication with management is inconsistent. Prospective tenants should weigh affordability against these ongoing upkeep and environment drawbacks.

Reviews of 1471 St Nicholas Avenue

Former tenant·8 months ago

Not worth it

Pros

Online portal to pay rent and submit maintenance requests.

Cons

1) The absolute loudest block in the heights. Four competing PA systems on each corner. Ear plugs wont stop the bass from shaking you in your sleep. 2) Disgusting pest problem. Mice and German roaches everywhere. Couldn't use the dishwasher since it was basically a roach rest. 3) No Security. Single door door entry with no vestibule. Door lock was always broken and allows non-residents to enter. 4) Garbage bins always smelled like urine. 5) Dirty building. Spilled sandwiches, cake , you name it would remain in the stairs for days.

Advice to the owners

Do the bare minimum and make sure the front door locks.
