    Review Summary for 1170 Ocean Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 1170 OCEAN AVENUE highlight a mix of experiences. Tenants appreciate the spacious units, family-oriented atmosphere, and some improvements like updated laundry facilities. However, concerns arise about pest control issues, heating challenges, and unresponsive management. Recommendations include modernizing common areas, enhancing security, and increasing laundry amenities.

    Ok building but needs a lot of updating
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Very family-oriented building with great neighbors. They also just got a new super this year who seems to be doing a lot more around the building with what he has to work with (it is an old building). They have updated the laundry room with new machines. The building is also pet friendly, at least when I moved in it was.
    Cons:
    Building still has cockroaches, even with monthly exterminators. Do have an updated laundry room but not an even number of washers/ dryers and there aren’t enough for how big the building is. Heat is obviously way too hot 🥵. I never know where to sort my recycling because the bins aren’t marked. Mgmt company seems bad, I’ve never gotten a renewal lease on time, I always have to reach out and ask.
    Advice to owner:
    Modern updates to the common areas of the building. Secure package room. More washers/dryers.

    Has great potential, but needs more improvements
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The apartments are very spacious, with lots of closet space. In some of the apartments, there is a bathroom inside the master bedroom.
    Cons:
    At one point, there were far too many apartments that became vacant within a short amount of time. Also, there were some mice and waterbug issues.
