    Review Summary for 452 Park Place
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews for 452 PARK PLACE highlight spacious apartments with natural light and good layout. However, the building suffers from incompetent and slow management responses, particularly in addressing maintenance issues. Concerns include rat problems, heating inconsistencies, and unprofessional behavior. Despite the shortcomings, the building offers rent stabilized units in a convenient location with large rooms and strong water pressure. Suggestions include improving responsiveness, pest control, and overall maintenance for a better living experience. Residents appreciate the friendly neighbors but emphasize the need for more efficient management practices.

    Nice pre war apartments with incompetent management company
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    My apartment is spacious, lots of natural light and great layout. The furnishings are older but generally work fine.
    Cons:
    The issue is when something does go wrong it takes the management comapny forever to do anything and acts extremely unprofessional.
    Advice to owner:
    Get a new management company, invest in another handyman or get professionals to do some required updates.

    Long term tenant
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Rent stabilized units in a good location
    Cons:
    Updated October 2023: over summer 2023 the rat problem outside the building (adjacent empty lot, front trash areas, building foundation and courtyards) got very bad. Winter 2022/23 the boiler was down with no heat in the building more often than in the past. Probably 5 or 6 cold days over the course of the heating season with no heat from radiators, up from maybe 2 or 3 days in previous winters.

    Unresponsive and disorganized management company, hot water gets extremely hot (would worry about small children), depending on apartment location the noise from park next door can be bothersome, bathrooms small and in need of updates, walls and ceilings transfer noise a moderate amount, repair work is generally poor quality
