    Review Summary for 414 East 119 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 414 East 119 Street reveal significant pest issues, including rats and cockroaches, impacting overall cleanliness and tenant comfort. Garbage management and building sanitation are frequently criticized. Heating is inconsistent, with some apartments experiencing poor heat during winter. Water pressure is generally good, and units tend to be spacious with decent closets. Neighbors are mostly friendly, contributing positively to the community atmosphere. However, management responsiveness is consistently poor, with slow or unhelpful communication, and maintenance—especially laundry facilities—remains a concern. Despite flaws, some tenants recommend the building for its size and location, though improvements in pest control, cleanliness, and management are strongly advised.

    Dirty and pests
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Good size rooms and closets
    Cons:
    It’s a nightmare
    Offers, bike room, yard, laundry and this 3 are infested with rats and rat droppings, used to be infested of roaches and now switch to rats
    Stairs and the whole building smells to dead rat and urine
    In 3 yrs management never check problems in the apartment and they had the audacity to raise the rent 10%
    Advice to owner:
    Focus on the apartment and take care of tenants
