    Review Summary for 222 Seaman Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenants at 222 Seaman Avenue describe the building as having potential but with room for improvement. Positive aspects include friendly neighbors, a quiet neighborhood (except in summer), and good water pressure. However, issues with inconsistent heating, noise from the park, thin walls causing disturbances, and landlord-tenant conflicts are prevalent. Tenant association is active, but slow owner responsiveness remains a concern. Rent stabilization status is uncertain. Despite some positive attributes, renters advise the management to enhance responsiveness, address noise disturbances, and improve building maintenance to create a more conducive living environment.

    Great building, noisy park
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Close to park, well kept, friendly neighbors, big bedrooms, dog and family friendly
    Cons:
    Water does not get hot for two minutes. The noise levels in the park are INSANE. If you have a unit facing the park, you will never sleep again.
    Advice to owner:
    None - I have no idea how to solve the park noise problem.
