Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 2131 Wallace Avenue in the Bronx praise the building’s spacious, pre-war apartments with high ceilings, ample natural light, and convenient access to subway lines and local amenities. Residents find the neighbors friendly and the courtyard and dog-friendly neighborhood appealing. However, persistent issues with pests, especially rats, mice, and bed bugs, are a frequent concern. Maintenance and management responsiveness are often criticized, particularly regarding heating inconsistencies, water leaks, and prolonged repair delays. While some tenants recommend the building for its affordability and space, many advise management to prioritize pest control, improve repair quality, and enhance communication to better support residents.

Lovely space, poorly maintained
Former Tenant
Pros:
The apartment I have is a lovely size and affordable price
Cons:
Poorly maintained. Inconsistent heat and hot water. Building is infested with roaches and bed bugs. Management ignores any repair requests until you call 311 or withhold rent and even then you have a 50/50 chance of getting something in a timely manner. Elevator breaks down for weeks at a time. Would not recommend at all.
Advice to owner:
Use the money your tenants pay to actually maintain the building and make repairs!
