    Review Summary for 18 Seaman Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenants at 18 Seaman Avenue appreciate the well-managed garbage disposal and heating systems. The building's spacious apartments with natural light and proximity to amenities like laundry facilities and the subway are highlighted. However, concerns about slow owner responsiveness to major issues, occasional pests, and maintenance delays have been raised. Despite these setbacks, the building's overall cleanliness and approval from tenants make it a recommended choice, especially for those seeking a comfortable living space with flexible landlords.

    Super was fine, management typical with dragging their feet
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The super was quite nice, although not always the most responsive. I had good neighbors and the common areas like the hallways and the elevator were clean
    Cons:
    When we had major problems that went beyond what the super could do, it would take multiple weeks of emails and calls to get remedies.

    Great old building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Well maintained, spacious, rent stabilized.
    Cons:
    Some neighbors are a little loud depending on the floor. Also, even though maintenance tends to be on top of everything, he’s kind of slow responding to requests.
