Review summary

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.

good price, bad landlords/superintendent

Pros

spacious units, high ceilings, lots of natural light. the garden outside has a few stray kittens which keep the rodents away

Cons

had a mice problem in 2021, you can still hear mice in the walls. bed bugs coming from the unit above. and have had multiple water leaks in the bathroom.

Lovely space, poorly maintained

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.
