Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
The building at 3940 Bronx Boulevard faces significant challenges with cleanliness and maintenance, including persistent pest infestations and outdated, damaged apartment fixtures. Tenants report safety concerns due to increased crime and troublesome visitors. Elevator reliability issues complicate daily living, especially for those on higher floors. While neighbors tend to keep to themselves and the location offers proximity to highways and parks, these advantages are overshadowed by poor management responsiveness and subpar building upkeep. Residents urge management to invest in qualified maintenance personnel, improve safety, and update apartment conditions to better justify rental costs.

Review from a tenant of 10 years to present
Former Tenant
Pros:
On site laundry room
Cons:
Poor kept building appearance. Dirty walls, floors, laundry room, hallways and staircases. Dog feces on front and side of the building. A scaffold has been around the building for the past two years with poor lighting. Apartments have old toilets system, most apartments still have commercial toilet in the apartment.
Advice to owner:
Do better with building maintenance, for apartment repairs use the proper people to get the job done. Luigi, the super is great, but he’s not certified in all this. He can’t be the porter, the painter, the plumber, the electrician, the carpenter, all in one. Start getting people with the right credentials to do the work in these apartments and things would last longer. An update the kitchen appliances.
