    Review Summary for 872 Jefferson Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews for 872 Jefferson Avenue highlight significant issues such as poor cleanliness, garbage management, and responsiveness from management. Tenants complain about frequent AC/heating problems, sketchy neighbors, and delays in addressing maintenance issues. While some appreciate friendly neighbors, the building's overall condition, rent increases, pest problems, and inconsistent water supply are major concerns. The noisy environment, lack of proper insulation, and high utility bills add to the dissatisfaction. Suggestions include quicker response to maintenance requests and improvements in overall upkeep to enhance the living experience. Owners' approval and building recommendation are generally low due to multiple drawbacks.

    A Solid First Cheap Apartment
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    When I was there, the rent was fairly cheap and it was nice to have backyard and roof access. Laundry, while not great, is at least in building.
    Cons:
    You have to beg the management company to do anything. ANYTHING. The building and bottom floor apartments fully flooded and it took them days to do anything about it. When they did? They sent three dudes with one mop, one of which had physically threatened my roommate in the past. Insane.
    Dudes will hang out on the steps 24 hours a day, scream at people, and management doesn't do anything about it. Cause those are the guys that they'll send to clean your place up when it floods. Those same dudes will keep you up at night yelling and chaining stolen CitiBikes to the front windows of the building. Don't worry- when they run out of space out front? They'll throw more CitiBikes in the backyard.
    One summer, the AC broke no less than 10 times. The CitiBike dude broke a window once in the middle of winter and it took them three weeks to replace that.
    CPS will show up to ask you about the neighbors. Cops will show up to ask you about nearby fights.
    You don't need an alarm- the church next door will wake you up with their music, guaranteed. Wall-shaking worship music bright and early. Praise God.
    Advice to owner:
    I don't even know dude. Quit? Probably quit.
