    Review Summary for 781 Washington Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 781 Washington Avenue emphasize renovated units with modern amenities like a gym, package room, and key fob entry as building highlights. While heating/cooling systems and water pressure are generally appreciated, issues such as pest infestations (rats and cockroaches), poor ventilation, and unpleasant hallway odors persist. Management and owner responsiveness are widely criticized for delays, lack of follow-through, and inadequate enforcement of no-smoking policies, contributing to tenant dissatisfaction. Noise levels and problematic neighbors are also noted concerns. Despite the building's appealing facade and location, renters caution that maintenance quality and communication need significant improvement for a better living experience.

    Cheap renovations and incompetent management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Renovated apartment
    - Heating and cooling is good
    - Finishing is good
    - New gym and office area is nice
    - FOB into building nice
    Cons:
    - Laundry room can be locked but is left propped open. Some random person wandered into the building and stole our laundry (caught on camera) but no changes were made.
    - Rats scampering in ceilings
    - No smoking policy not enforced sufficiently, common areas and ventilation stinks
    - No ventilation in the hallways, weird smells
    - Occasional cockroaches
    - Elevator out of service sometimes (around 6 times past half year)
    - People don't clean up after themselves at the gym
    - Super lies about when they're going to come over/come back if you don't follow up with them
    Advice to owner:
    Act on tenant requests, especially smoking and ventilation violations

    Sketchy and overpriced
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Gym, location, locked package room, kind super, space size
    Cons:
    Questionable tenants who steal packages, hallway reeking of smoke, cockroaches, expensive/overpriced, echoing hallways that carry noise. The apartment looks nice, but everything cheaply constructed such as uneven flooring and sloppy paint job, door handles that keep falling off
    Advice to owner:
    Make hallways nicer, stop smokers
