    Review Summary for 180 Lenox Road
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    The building at 180 Lenox Road offers spacious, rent-stabilized prewar apartments with a strong community vibe from long-tenured tenants. Pros include large rooms, decent water pressure, and a friendly super, though often overworked. However, management is frequently criticized for poor responsiveness, inadequate maintenance, and failure to address pest infestations and elevator reliability. Garbage management and cleanliness are inconsistent, with some reports of mold, rodents, and safety concerns in common areas. Laundry access is limited, and noise insulation is weak. While affordable and spacious, renters suggest significant improvements in building upkeep, pest control, and management communication to enhance livability.

    It's not worth your health or peace of mind
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    It is spacious.
    Cons:
    No communication, you will have to chase the super and property manager Izzy does not care. There is mold, they have a mice issue. They have leaks that are left unresolved for days going on weeks. It takes months to get any every issue resolved and they will get upset with you for asking for updates. It's really not worth it regardless of price and space. Please don't live there.
    Advice to owner:
    Quit Property Management. You can kill someone in these condition.

    This building and their management are awful
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The only good things are the size of the apartments and the price. That’s it.
    Cons:
    To get anything fixed, you need to report them to 311 or it never gets done. Trash is everywhere. Tenants literally throw it outside of their windows and no one cleans it up. Cigarette smoke fills the halls and your apt. Groups of teenagers, adults and unhoused people hang out in the lobby. They drink, smoke and leave their garbage. The elevator rarely works, which leaves elderly tenants trapped or dangerously taking the stairs with canes. If you like mice, roaches, black mold, smoke, trash (even dirty diapers left in the hallway), this building is for you.
    Advice to owner:
    Fix things!!!! Replace the elevator, clean the place. It’s disgusting.
