    Review Summary for 285 Avenue C
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 285 Avenue C highlight a well-maintained, clean, and safe building with spacious and bright apartments. Tenants appreciate the responsive management and good heating system, as well as the friendly and diverse community of neighbors. Garbage and pest control receive strong praise, and amenities like a community coffee shop add charm. Noise levels are generally low, though some units experience sound bleed and proximity to highways causes occasional noise. The main drawbacks include slow maintenance response times, an inconvenient distance from the subway, expensive laundry, and some difficulty with cable issues. Overall, it remains a desirable option for families, students, and professionals.

    Stuytown Building Review
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Building is old but well maintained, although service requests via email and phone can take a while sometimes to get an appointment, they are far better than average and very responsive with most fixes at no cost (e.g. broken curtains). Heating is good, no messing around in terms of not being on at the right times. Good property team - in terms of garbage and recycling and keeping shared spaces clean. Well maintained and clean and safe and pretty community area, with coffee shop/little bar. Security keeps things very safe.
    Cons:
    Nothing major - maybe if maintenance requests could have quicker appointments but no problems over the year here.
    Advice to owner:
    None
