    Review Summary for 647 Albany Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 647 Albany Avenue reveal a building with spacious apartments and good water pressure, appreciated by some tenants. Friendly neighbors and quietness are noted positives. However, significant issues include poor cleanliness, unmanaged garbage, and pervasive pest problems, particularly roaches, contributing to an unpleasant living environment. Management responsiveness is consistently criticized as slow or unresponsive, exacerbating residents' frustrations with maintenance and noise disturbances. Heating is inconsistent, and the surrounding neighborhood presents safety concerns for some. Reviewers advise professional cleaning, improved pest control, and better communication from management to create a more livable and welcoming space.

    This place is not worth it
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Neighbors are friendly , it’s pretty quite
    Cons:
    They don’t take care of the trash , they have a roach issue throughout whole building so it’s very hard. Even if your place is clean they don’t manage the rest of the building so it’s an infestation. Their exterminator sucks . I’m pretty sure there’s mold in apartments too
    Advice to owner:
    Get the building professionally cleaned ! I don’t know the last time I saw someone actually clean hallways or the stairs. It’s always so much dust. Just because the building is old does not mean you shouldn’t continue to upkeep it .
