Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of 71 Stuyvesant Avenue highlight its convenient location close to transit and generally polite, quiet neighbors. However, renters frequently cite poor management with slow or neglected repairs and unresponsive landlords. The building suffers from cleanliness issues, frequent pest problems, and occasional mold, impacting living conditions. Water pressure varies by unit, while heating and noise levels receive mixed feedback. Despite flexible rent policies in emergencies, many tenants feel rent is high for the limited amenities offered. Overall, while the location is a strong point, management and maintenance shortcomings are persistent concerns for prospective renters.

Reviews

A lot of issues

Pros

Location is great. Very close to the train Neighbors are mostly quiet and polite Rent hasn’t been raised much Landlords were flexible during emergencies and covid

Cons

Rent is high for almost no amenities. Repairs will never get done until a new tenant comes in. This a major issue. Some repairs are very urgent and management essentially won’t pay for them. Many units have had mold problems.

Advice to the owners

Pay for repairs for current tenants; clean the building regularly; have regular terminator visits

This is a scam

Pros

A roof over my head

Cons

My particular unit has no street view, there are only 2 windows and they're in one of the bedrooms, with an airshaft view. Rent is $2850 for a tiny, lightless box. The building superintendent is impossible to reach and never shows up when he says he will, and when he does, he rarely addresses the issue at hand. Even for NYC this place is a scam.
