Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 1544 Nostrand Avenue praise the building's spacious layouts, updated amenities, balconies, rooftop access, and generally responsive landlord. Many tenants appreciate good heating and neighborly atmosphere. However, common drawbacks include poor water pressure, issues with pest control (notably drain flies and basement pests), occasional cleanliness concerns in shared areas, and noise from the busy street. Some renters express dissatisfaction with management communication and contract restrictions, while others note improper maintenance like mold in the gym and uncleaned pet waste. Overall, the building has strong potential but would benefit from improved maintenance and more proactive management to enhance tenant satisfaction.

Reviews

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Good building, poor water pressure

Pros

Good amenities, big living space

Cons

Low water pressure, wish there were real keys

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

New build, hopefully new management

Pros

New fixtures, apartment layout is good for entertaining. Rooftop access. Not many bugs, no rodents. Close to subway. New super had just moved in as we were leaving. Management communicates poorly and tried to keep our security deposit even after the inspector said everything was clean.

Cons

Landlord illegally evicted people during the moratorium. One of the tenants regularly lets her dog defecate on the roof and it doesn’t get cleaned up. The basement gym has so much mold it hurts to breathe. Noisy block, hard to sleep at night if your unit faces the street.
