Review Summary for 1921 Avenue K
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews highlight 1921 Avenue K as a decent, rent-stabilized building with responsive management and consistent pest control. However, challenges include unfriendly neighbors, limited heating, and alleged favoritism in apartment availability. Concerns about hot water and laundry availability have been raised. Despite some issues, the management's responsiveness and the peaceful atmosphere with quiet neighbors make it a favorable choice. Improvements suggested include better heat management, more transparent communication on available units, and increased pest control frequency for an enhanced living experience in Midwood.

Decent building; unfriendly neighbors
Former Tenant
Pros:
Rent stabilized.
Rental office in building.
Super responsive.
Elevator always works.
Consistent monthly visits from exterminator.
Cons:
The neighborhood is a food desert.

No laundry in building.

Neighbors are not nice, and won’t hold the elevator/front door for you.

Allegedly, only 1 BDR apartments in building; seems like they play favorites and don’t disclose other available units to current tenants.

They are very cheap with the heat in the winter, and when you call to complain they blame it on the system but don’t do anything about it. 311 doesn’t help.

Slow, irresponsible management
Former Tenant
Pros:
Near the groceries and subway station. Apartments are renovated and clean.
Cons:
Super Eddie doing absolutely nothing. Management ignoring your requests and very slow. Permanent problem with hot water.
