Review Summary for 225 Parkside Avenue
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 225 Parkside Avenue reveal a strong sense of community and a coveted, park-adjacent location. Tenants appreciate friendly neighbors and the rent-stabilized status but consistently report severe maintenance and management issues. Frequent pest infestations, notably cockroaches and mice, alongside poor garbage management, are major concerns. Tenants describe unresponsive and sometimes rude management, slow repairs, and safety hazards including ceiling leaks and exposed heating pipes. The building's age shows through in shoddy repairs and elevator outages, impacting quality of life. Despite these drawbacks, some tenants recommend the building for its community vibe and location, suggesting urgent management improvements are necessary.

More cons than Pros.
Former Tenant
Pros:
Nice people. Nice location. Being next to the park is great. Rent stabalized.
Cons:
Non working appliances upon moving in. Roaches everywhere constantly. an exterminator promised to come once a mont never shows. Heating pipes are not covered, especially in small bathroom. Accidental burns are constant. Celing leaks that go unfized. Wall and ceiling damage. Very slow super. Managment will not respond to your complaints and when they do it will be with attitude. I had to call the city because the safety hazards in our apartment went unadressed for months.
Advice to owner:
Stop being slumlord A-Holes.

It's okay lol
Former Tenant
Pros:
I love the location of this place. I've lived here since I was around 12 and it was a nice place to grow up in. Beautiful area and it's very diverse which i love
Cons:
Living here is hell if you have a family that is busy 24/7. Like the amount of roaches and mice that they have is insane and the building doesn't do anything about it. The trash is left out on your floor for days at a time and it stinks up the entire building.
