Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant feedback for 1499 Bedford Avenue highlights a mix of modern amenities and significant challenges. The building offers spacious units with in-unit laundry, gym access, and generally good cleanliness. However, many renters report noise disturbances from thin walls and rooftop parties, safety concerns including break-ins and squatters, and package theft. Management's responsiveness and maintenance support receive repeated criticism, with issues such as pest control, building upkeep, and security remaining unresolved. While some appreciate the location and new construction, the overall sentiment is cautious due to persistent noise, safety, and management shortcomings that detract from the living experience.

Loud firetruck and Expensive heating

Pros

Large rooms and modern amenities.

Cons

Loud firetruck often with blazing horns in the middle of the night. Extremely expensive heating in the winter

Former tenant·6 months ago

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!!!
