Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 395 Fort Washington Avenue in Manhattan praise its ideal location near the A subway line, spacious renovated apartments, and a generally quiet, neighborly atmosphere. Tenants appreciate the presence of an elevator, laundry facilities, and a responsive superintendent who promptly addresses most issues. However, complaints center on inconsistent maintenance, slow response times from property management, package thefts, occasional plumbing and heating hiccups, and some common areas needing improvement. Noise from hallway door slamming is noted. While the building offers strong community vibes and clean spaces, renters urge management to improve communication and maintenance efficiency to elevate living conditions.

Wonderful building, Great Neighbors
Former Tenant
Pros:
The building has a great layout and the entry is wonderful. Having an elevator and laundry in the building is a plus. The proximity to the A Line subway can’t be beat! New Super is helping to take care of issues quickly.
Cons:
There was an issue of packages being stolen from the lobby. After the Super was able to catch the person(s) on video, they filed a police report and took measures to secure the doors to the building.
The common areas need serious attention and improvement - peeling paint, poor lighting.
Advice to owner:
Olshan Properties - There is an opportunity to make this a jewel of a building in the neighborhood. The location is ideal. Do not ignore it.

Never want to leave
Former Tenant
Pros:
Love. Super responsive super! Creative solutions when something can’t be fixed quick.
Cons:
Hallway noise. The slamming of the fire doors is constant. And you can hear as people walk up and down the hallways.
