    Review Summary for 252 1 Ave
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 252 1 Ave highlight a clean, well-maintained building with responsive management and a strong sense of community. Residents value the spacious apartments, effective pest control, and access to green spaces. Convenient transit connections and onsite amenities like laundry add to the appeal. However, noise is a recurring concern, especially for units facing 1st Avenue, due to sirens and thin walls. Some tenants report slow elevator service and occasional package theft. Smoking odors in common areas have also been noted as a problem. Overall, the building suits those prioritizing cleanliness, safety, and location but sensitive renters should consider noise factors.

    Stuytown is great - very responsive management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Building kept clean, laundry in building and great access to greenspace, safe and quiet if your apt is interior to the building (facing away from 14th and 1st ave)
    Cons:
    Did occasionally have breakdowns - e.g., pipe burst that took out laundry for 2 months (though did compensate on rent etc)
