Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 1288 1 Avenue highlight a mix of positive and significant concerns. Tenants appreciate updated appliances, quiet neighbors, and some enjoy the location and renovated units. However, many point out serious issues with pest infestations, especially roaches and rodents, alongside unpleasant odors and poor hallway cleanliness. Management frequently receives criticism for slow or unresponsive communication, and some allege unethical practices including rent hikes and aggressive tactics. Heating and water pressure quality vary, with some praising improvements but others noting deficiencies. The building is older and could benefit from better maintenance, pest control, and a refresh of common areas to improve tenant satisfaction.

NEW RENTERS: BEWARE OF OWNER

Pros

-renovations look nice, but are meaningless with poor management.

Cons

-new ownership using scare tactics to force good tenants out of the building -ROACHES -new owners irresponsible with funds and refuse to return deposits, only returned after filing a claim in court for it. -hallways are a mess and smell awful -trash area is infested with all kinds of rodents and is very dark and scary to visit during night. -rent increase over 150% -landlords will not communicate via written communication, instead would rather show up at late hours of the night and scare tenants into moving out. Adult male “landlords” using scare tactics on young girls living alone, showing up past 9pm on a weeknight and walking into the apartment to discuss the increase in rent.

Advice to the owners

Beware of many tenants taking legal action against you.
