    Review Summary for 1 Seaman Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews for 1 Seaman Avenue highlight the advantages of rent stabilization, well-managed common areas, and good super service. However, consistent pest issues, noise from nearby establishments, and occasional hot water disruptions are recurring concerns. The building's outdated infrastructure, including faulty gates and old apartments, coupled with poor management rotations, pose significant drawbacks. Tenants emphasize the need for improved pest control, responsive ownership, and enhanced building maintenance to elevate the living experience. While some recommend the building for its amenities, others caution against the management's shortcomings and advise potential renters to consider these issues before committing.

    You get what you pay for

    Over 2 years ago
    Well maintained but above restaurants
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Well maintained, rent stabilized, good super, good prices

    Fix roach issue

    Had a good experience living here
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Lots of washing machines, landscaping, had an easy time with mail (but lived on ground floor)
    Cons:
    Could hear neighbors upstairs, a LOT of street noise, hot water went out a lot especially in winter

    Old building with good apartments but horrible foundation and management.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Apartment was nice and large. Nice courtyard and large entrance gates. Building provides monthly pest control if needed.
    Cons:
    Entrance gates were usually open and the lock on doors to get inside each building usually did not work either (aka anyone can get inside). Apartments were large but in old prewar buildings which means only stairs and lots of them. Apartments were old, had rickety floors and top windows were screwed shut as they could not stay open on their own. Cloth insulation around the wires caused two electrical fires within the span of two years. Property managers and building managers were constantly being rotated and you would have to reach out to a different person every few months. Building manager actively ignored messages and calls from myself and the superintendent forcing me to spend about a month and a half without a working shower. The list goes on but I think the point has been made.
    Advice to owner:
    No advice just criticism.

    Change the super
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Near to the park
    Cons:
    The super’s attitude and his laziness
    Advice to owner:
    Change the super

    The worst management company manages these buildings
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Space of my apartment
    Cons:
    Loud, dirty, theft problem, bugs etc.
    Advice to owner:
    Care for your tenants, not just the restaurant tenants and maintain the buildings
    Over 3 years ago
    Slumlord extraordinaire
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The neighbors are cool and the courtyard is nice
    Cons:
    The landlords are horrible rat infestations, roach infestations. Never fix anything properly, use intimidation tactics. Also taking money from shady, drug dealer owned businesses and helping them launder money, just despicable nyc slumlords. Avoid any of their buildings, there is one lawsuit after another against them
    Advice to owner:
    Nothing I say would help, when you have no morals or humanity
