Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of 1499 Bedford Avenue reveal a modern building with appealing amenities like a gym, in-unit laundry, and terraces, favored for its location. However, renters consistently report issues such as poor sound insulation causing significant noise disturbances, particularly from rooftop parties. Safety concerns are frequent, including package theft, squatters, and inadequate entry security. Maintenance and management responsiveness are widely criticized, with many describing slow or unhelpful service. Construction quality feels subpar to some, with cheap finishes and pest problems mentioned. While the building’s cleanliness and amenities are appreciated, ongoing noise, security, and management issues detract from the living experience.

Way too noisy

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 the owners

Maintain the laundry better. Fix the noise problem on the ground floor. Have a clear way to reserve group amenities AND ENFORCE IT!!!
