    Review Summary for 783 Knickerbocker Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 783 Knickerbocker Avenue highlight spacious and aesthetically pleasing units with great layouts and convenient transit access. Tenants appreciate the pet-friendly policy and some friendly neighbors. However, consistent issues with pest infestations, especially cockroaches, are a major concern despite regular exterminations. Maintenance is slow and often unresponsive, with frequent problems like broken laundry machines, poorly sealed windows causing water leaks, and unreliable heating and hot water. Noise levels vary but hallway and street noise can be disruptive due to thin walls. Package theft and safety concerns are commonly reported. Overall, renters find the building overpriced for its condition and management responsiveness.

    Pretty units but poorly maintained
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    A few of the units are huge and have great, spacious layouts that are hard to find anywhere else in nyc for the same price. I haven’t really had much of a problem with management. They seem rude at first but you’ll quickly realize that’s just how they talk. Maintenance requests get ignored at first but once you follow up, they will address it. Soundproofing between the units is fine, but you can hear everything going on in the hallway and everyone in the hallway can hear you.
    Cons:
    1. Moved out because I just couldn’t deal with the amount of bugs I was getting. I’m extremely clean and still managed to find cockroaches on my bed, clothes, and in my dishwasher several times. And this is with mgmt already having an exterminator come every few weeks, AND with me using Advion and Gentrol regularly, setting traps, sealing all my food, taking out trash daily, etc. I probably spent hundreds of dollars on pest control products and countless hours doing whatever I could to get it under control only for nothing to work.
    2. Hot water in the shower will shut off. I don't know if there's a built-in timer somewhere or what but it stops exactly at the 20 min mark every single time.
    3. Windows aren’t properly sealed so you will get a lot of water inside your apartment when it rains. Be prepared to have towels lined up.
    Advice to owner:
    The units are beautiful so this really could be a great place to live if only the building was better maintained (and all the gaps in the windows/doors/walls/everywhere were sealed correctly)

    Nice facade of a apt complex
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    the design of my apartment
    Cons:
    Management's inability to fix half of the broken washer and dryers. Cockroaches in the basement. Mold in the shower chaulk. Hot water does not last. Hot water in the tub comes out brown-tinted. Noise levels. Package theft.
    Advice to owner:
    Solve the issues you say you will.
