Review Summary for 530 Parkside Avenue
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 530 Parkside Avenue reveal a building with a dedicated and hardworking superintendent who earns much tenant appreciation for maintaining cleanliness despite challenges. The building offers renovated apartments in a convenient location near transit and Prospect Park. Tenants enjoy respectful neighbors and a generally quiet environment. However, persistent pest issues, especially roaches and occasional bedbugs, are a significant concern requiring better pest control solutions. Common areas occasionally suffer from cleanliness lapses, and the heating system and elevator can be problematic. Management responsiveness varies, with calls for improved communication and support during urgent issues. Overall, the building suits those prioritizing location and community but needs infrastructure and pest management upgrades.

Maurice ROCKS - Management not the best
Former Tenant
Pros:
Maurice the Live-In super/handyman/garbage-handler/cleaner who TIRELESSLY took care of the building's hallways and garbage
Cons:
The AWFUL tenants who left their garbage everywhere outside the garbage chute/garbage room everywhere overflowing for this old man to clean up. People are foul. I didn't even use the garbage chute, I took my garbage downstairs. If I used the chute, maybe 5 times in the two years I lived there, I put my garbage IN the chute, these selfish pigs left their smelly runny garbage everywhere and that attracts ROACHES. The building had a pretty pervasive roach issue but the WORST nightmare came with the BEDBUGS that infested my apartment after my next door neighbors moved out. I had gotten rid of roaches, they came back as well. The building does offer exterminating services bi-weekly but it is very superficial and they use poisons that cannot be used if you have pets (I had a kitten back then). I had to sleep with lights and sweatpants on not be eaten alive and after two nights ordered a pet-friendly service that I paid for out-of-pocket, in order to finally get a wink of sleep. And they REFUSED to take the exterminating costs off my rent!! Criminal greedy owners/management co. I left without paying 2 last months' rent, are you kidding? They sent some letter demanding unpaid rent (which I got because I have mail forwarding, I didn't tell them my forwarding address) - GOOD LUCK trying to get that $ from me.
Advice to owner:
Please pay Maurice GOLD / 5 times than you think he's worth because he is worth 5 times more than you ever will know. Please, please fix the building's fundamental issues with pests instead of just spraying poison. The roaches come from the elevator shafts or wherever there is moisture in these old buildings. Please reign in the unruly shit tenants treating Maurice like he's their personal servant. And PLEASE have an emergency contact/number for a FREE of charge bedbug exterminator that comes within 48 hours and offers pet-friendly services (we only had to vacate the apartment for 4 hours with my cat), no questions asked. Including paying for the laundry that is required related to a bedbug infestation.
