    Review Summary for 1956 1 Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 1956 1 Avenue highlight spacious units with good amenities like laundry, gym, and a dog park, with many appreciating included utilities and strong water pressure. The building benefits from 24/7 security and generally friendly neighbors, contributing to a quiet environment. However, management responsiveness and communication are consistently criticized, with maintenance requests often delayed and poor handling of pest issues like mice and occasional roaches. Cleanliness varies, particularly in common areas such as gyms and the dog park. Security and safety concerns have been noted by some, along with occasional noise from neighbors and smell issues in hallways.

    Nice for the time being
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    I appreciated the perks including laundry in building, the gym, utilities included, cost of units and the size
    Cons:
    Gym is not kept clean enough at all, sometimes hard to get in touch with management for maintenance requests, and personally too far of a commute for my work
    Advice to owner:
    Hire someone to consistently clean the gym and other common spaces
