Review Summary for 99 Lafayette Avenue
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 99 Lafayette Avenue highlight its excellent location, spacious apartments with good natural light, and decent-sized units. Tenants appreciate the neighborhood vibe and relatively affordable rent for the area. However, persistent issues overshadow these positives: poor cleanliness, unmanaged garbage areas, frequent pest infestations, unreliable elevator service, and insufficient maintenance of common areas. Complaints about slow or unresponsive management, security lapses, and sharp rent increases are common. While neighbors are generally friendly and noise levels moderate, the building's upkeep and management practices need significant improvement to justify the cost and enhance tenant satisfaction.
