Review Summary for 1680 Pelham Parkway South
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 1680 Pelham Parkway South reveal persistent issues with management responsiveness and building maintenance. Tenants frequently report poor heating and hot water reliability, noise problems due to thin walls, and ongoing pest infestations despite efforts to keep units clean. Garbage management and general cleanliness ratings vary but often lean low. Positive aspects include the convenient location near transportation and highways, and some appreciation for the building's exterior. However, residents warn prospective renters about management's poor communication, mishandling of security deposits, and neglect of tenant concerns, leading many to advise caution when considering this building.

Security deposit thieves
Former Tenant
Pros:
Near highway, bus, and train.
Cons:
This building has a slew of problems from thin walls, loud neighbors ( due to VERY thin walls), weed smoke, and roaches and rats( first two floors).
My problem began when I was trying to sublease my apartment for the remaining three months I had on my lease per RSC § 2525.6 in my lease that allows me to have a chance to.
They flat out denied my request even though it’s NYC law to have a valid reason to do so, invalidating their renewal lease they gave me.
I made it known that if that’s not possible I will be leaving on 11/15/2025. They agreed and said that my security deposit will be sent to me with the legal time frame of two weeks minus any damage outside the normal wear and tear.
The apartment was left in great shape with all appliances working and very minimal damage to the walls and floors after living there for over a half a decade.
11/29/2025 came and went and I sent and email out on December 1st, 2025 to remind them of the deposits which they responded that they will cut the check that Friday.
That Friday came and went and any subsequent emails sent was ignored.
I then contacted the OWNER himself on 12/12/2025 which he responded that “some one will reach out”.
And no one has reached out and he now reads and ignores all messages I send to him.
Read the reviews from google, openigloo, Reddit, apartments.com you will understand that this company, The Equestrian, and Ashley’s Backflips LLC have all the same M.O: no matter if you’re a good tenant or not they will treat you like trash and steal your money, providing you with subpar living conditions and spotty communications.
6 years, never missed a payment, pristine kept apartment, and no complaints on my name…and what I got?
- Thin walls where I had to listen to barking dogs at 2am at night, sex, piano, and singing
- sage and weed smoke in hallways
- and my security deposit stolen
