    Review Summary for 1286 1 Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 1286 1 Avenue highlight its convenient location and renovated apartments with spacious closets and updated appliances as key positives. Several tenants praised the super’s helpfulness and the building’s cleanliness. However, frequent complaints focus on poor and inconsistent heating, noisy radiators, long waits for hot water, and generally unresponsive or difficult management. Garbage management and security concerns, including pest issues and disruptive neighbors, also detract from the living experience. Noise levels can be high due to traffic and nearby institutions. While some recommend the building for its location and renovations, many advise improvements in heating, management responsiveness, and amenities.
