    Review Summary for 48 Meserole Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews reveal mixed sentiments about 48 Meserole Street. The building boasts a great location and attentive super but faces issues like water damage, rodent problems, and lack of promised amenities like roof access. While some praise the clean and well-maintained structure, others criticize poor insulation, loud construction, and aggressive super. The rent prices are perceived as high for the living conditions offered. Potential renters should be cautious about recurring flooding, pest control, and misleading information on balcony use. Overall, the building's appeal is overshadowed by various maintenance and management challenges.

    Do Not Move Here
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    It’s a nice looking building with renovated apartments. There are also only three apartments per floor. The building is kept clean and garbage disposed of appropriately.
    Cons:
    Horrible insulation means freezing winters. Bad initial construction means there is constant LOUD construction happening on the building. Mice live in the walls & landlord doesn’t send pest control. Someone killed themself by jumping off the balcony. Multiple, recurring flooding of apts. Super is aggressive with tenants. On a very busy and loud main street.
    Advice to owner:
    The rent prices are absurd for the quality of living in this building. Only in NYC can you get away with how Compass treats the building and its tenants.

    Dead rats, huge cockroaches, balcony unusable
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    - Washer dryer in unit
    - Walgreens around the corner
    - Full sized appliances
    - Modern kitchen and bathroom
    - Super is good
    Cons:
    - There were 2 LARGE squished rats by the door entrance for a week before they were removed
    - Front door doesn’t fully close, so our packages are always stolen/cut into
    - Cockroaches are few, but the ones that make it to the hallways and apartments are ginormous
    - Landlord actually RAISED our rent during Covid 😡
    - When we initially toured the apartment, we were told the fire escape was “grandfathered” in by Fire Department as a balcony and could use it as such. We’ve since been told NOTHING is allowed on it and anything on their will be removed and charged to us at our expense.
    - Same goes for Roof - we were told we could access it but it has been locked every time I try to access it
    - People frequently get stuck in the Elevator (at least a 5 times in 1 year)
    Advice to owner:
    Shame on you!
