Review Summary for 654 Madison Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 654 Madison Street highlight a mix of positive features and significant concerns. The building benefits from modern amenities, balconies, lounges, and a new construction style, contributing to an appealing aesthetic and good water pressure in some units. However, tenants frequently report issues with pest infestations, notably cockroaches, inconsistent heating, and high electricity bills. Noise disturbances, package theft, and uncleanliness tied to other residents are also common complaints. Management responsiveness is uneven, especially on weekends, leading to frustration. While some appreciate the building's features, many caution prospective renters to carefully consider these recurring problems before committing.

Broke our Lease, don’t live here!
Former Tenant
Pros:
Amenities were great if you’re cool with roaches. A/C was amazing
Cons:
GERMAN COCKROACHES in both the apartment and amenities. Paper thin walls. Terrible management. Black mold.
Advice to owner:
Don’t just let people out of the lease when they call 311. Address the problems and help the people who stay.

Very beautiful buildings but think twice
Former Tenant
Pros:
- a lot of lounges
- new building
- laundry in the basement
- balcony
- new building
- laundry in the basement
- balcony
Cons:
- if you have a problem (even emergency) and text management on Friday/ Saturday- you get no reply. Wait till Sunday or Monday or fix it by yourself
- roaches. We got lucky not to have it on our floor, but a lot of them I the basement/other floors
- neighbors. It is a nice building with a lot of NOT nice people. Loud music (even at 5-6am), steal packages, don’t clean after their dogs (not only on the rooftop but also IN the building)
- MAD HIGH ELECTRICITY BILL. We weren’t in the apartment the whole January and our bill was 700$ (mind everything was off). Every apartment pays 500-700$ in winter and 300-400 in summer.
