Review Summary for 1499 Bedford Avenue
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Tenants appreciate the building's modern design, amenities like an in-unit washer/dryer, gym, bike room, and its convenient location. The structure is generally clean with effective pest control in some units. However, common issues include thin walls causing noise disturbances, especially from parties and neighbors; poor sound insulation; and high utility costs due to drafty windows. Safety concerns are serious, with reports of squatters, break-ins, and package theft. Many renters criticize management for poor responsiveness and inadequate maintenance. Overall, while the building offers appealing features, noise, security, and management shortcomings significantly impact residents' satisfaction.

Way too noisy
Former Tenant
Pros:
Modern "smart building", few vermin because building is new, nice amenities
Cons:
Cheap finishes and appliances don't stand up to use; cabinets and microwave are too high off the ground for average people; but the VERY WORST is the noise level, especially for the top and bottom few floors on weekends. There are loud roof garden parties that affect both top and lower floors, because the revelers are constantly coming in and out of the building, making noise for the lower floors. Ground floor residents really have it bad, because the lobby is an amplifier that needs sound clouds or something to cut down on the reverberation.
Advice to owner:
Maintain the laundry better. Fix the noise problem on the ground floor. Have a clear way to reserve group amenities AND ENFORCE IT!!!
