Review Summary for 1003 Greene Avenue
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.

The apartments are modern with good water pressure and heating.

Building has gone downhill
Former Tenant
Pros:
Elevator Maintenance man is responsive and kind Furnished roof Gym Relatively few pests, but due to decreasing conditions, I would be concerned about this in the future
Cons:
Common areas are NOT kept clean - when we first moved in, we saw employees cleaning common areas on a regular basis. However, now we almost never see any cleaning taking place, and the building is becoming extremely gross (carpets on each floor are never vacuumed, the laundry room is disgusting, etc) Furniture on roof is not maintained, so the cushions on the lounge chairs is growing mold Elevator breaks on a regular basis (this has been an issue on and off over the years) About a third of a the washer/dryers in the laundry room are regularly broken Refrigerator is tiny/regularly has issues with fan noise When it rains heavily in the summer, the ceiling in the hallway of the top floor floods, and will be wet for days. Extremely concerned about this leading to mold in the future.
Advice to owner:
The biggest suggestion would be to hire a better cleaning staff and actually keep our common areas clean. They have been disgusting for over a year now (was better when we first moved in in 2021)
