    Review Summary for 294 Tompkins Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 294 Tompkins Avenue describe a building with spacious apartments and quiet neighbors, but significant management and maintenance issues overshadow these positives. Tenants praise the ample living space and decent water pressure but report persistent problems such as unresponsive and neglectful landlords, poor heating, recurring leaks, and inadequate repairs. Cleanliness and garbage management receive low marks, with concerns about broken mailboxes, deteriorating floors, and occasional tenant disturbances. While the superintendent is somewhat helpful, overall maintenance and timely owner responsiveness are lacking. Prospective renters should be cautious, as many find the living conditions below standard and do not recommend this building.

    horrible landlord, avoid!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    small building, quiet neighbors
    Cons:
    had a horrible experience living here for one year. landlords are NOT responsive and do not care when things break. the super was helpful but he was rarely called in to help. they let appliances be broken for longer than a week and didn't care despite my consistent calls. DO NOT RENT FROM THESE PEOPLE!!!
    Advice to owner:
    do better

    Fine but has issues
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    It's great to be right next to HVK, the huge living room is great and the bedrooms are fairly big with lots of closet space.
    Cons:
    Often hard to get in contact with the management, apartment is poorly maintained and old. We had an issue with heat not working but it was (eventually) fixed. There was a leaking ceiling in one of the bedrooms.
