Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 147 Avenue A reveal a mix of experiences. Many tenants praise the building’s cleanliness, well-maintained units, and responsive superintendents, highlighting a generally friendly community atmosphere with some good neighbors. The location is appreciated, though street-facing rooms can be noisy. Water pressure and pest control are generally adequate but occasionally problematic. However, some renters report issues with management responsiveness, citing delays in communication and withheld security deposits, along with occasional disruptions from tenant turnover. Noise and heat consistency vary, partly due to the building’s age. Overall, it appeals to those valuing upkeep and location but may frustrate those seeking swift owner management.
