Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 463 Lafayette Avenue highlight its convenient location near public transit and in-unit laundry as benefits. However, tenants consistently report poor management responsiveness, with delayed or neglected repairs and issues around security deposit return. The building is described as old, with unmaintained hallways, pest problems, and plumbing issues. Several mention an overworked superintendent and illegal basement units causing utility complications. Noise levels vary, but overall the environment is manageable. Renters advise improved management practices, better maintenance staffing, and compliance with housing laws to enhance living conditions. Despite some positives, many discourage future tenancy due to management and safety concerns.

Overworked super
Former Tenant
Pros:
Washer and dryer in unit
Cons:
The super was overworked and underpaid. He had buildings in Harlem and Manhattan. Asking them to make necessary repairs (like a leaky room or mice infestation) always made me feel guilty
Advice to owner:
Pay more supers, pay exterminators
