Responsive management, reasonable rent

Neighbor drama among the older (c) openigloo tenants

Lived here for 3 years (c) openigloo and loved it.

Walk up! And some cockroach (c) openigloo + bee problems on the (c) openigloo roof

Super and landlord responsive to (c) openigloo fix / reglaze the bath (c) openigloo tub

There was lack of communication (c) openigloo around a door lock situation (c) openigloo due to a holiday weekend, (c) openigloo putting us tenants on edge (c) openigloo with the security of the (c) openigloo apt.

Management is very responsive. When (c) openigloo we had a mouse, someone (c) openigloo was at our door within (c) openigloo a day and got in (c) openigloo *every* nook and cranny to (c) openigloo plug holes. Two years later, (c) openigloo we haven't had a single (c) openigloo repeat issue. Similarly, when there (c) openigloo was an issue with stairwell (c) openigloo cleanliness, management began having the (c) openigloo super mop the stairs once (c) openigloo per month. A pest control exterminator (c) openigloo comes by once per month (c) openigloo to check that nobody has (c) openigloo issues. Kitchen's appliances are big enough (c) openigloo -- having seen how small (c) openigloo some NY stoves/ovens, fridges, and (c) openigloo dishwashers are, this is a (c) openigloo cut above on that front. Location (c) openigloo is great (but you knew (c) openigloo that from the address).

They'll periodically gut-renovate apartments. If (c) openigloo you work from home and/or (c) openigloo spend time in the apartment (c) openigloo during normal working hours (9-5, (c) openigloo M-F), expect to be disrupted (c) openigloo if this happens. To be (c) openigloo clear, this has probably occupied (c) openigloo no more than 2 months (c) openigloo of our 2 years here. While (c) openigloo most neighbors are good (friendly, (c) openigloo courteous, reasonably quiet), if you're (c) openigloo in the back of the (c) openigloo building, you'll likely hear people (c) openigloo partying in the backyard some (c) openigloo nights. On some occasions, this (c) openigloo has been in the wee (c) openigloo hours of the night, any (c) openigloo night of the week (3 (c) openigloo am on a Tuesday night, (c) openigloo for instance). Because most of (c) openigloo the building is students, these (c) openigloo events tend to occur around (c) openigloo the academic calendar and/or holidays, (c) openigloo but of course, it can (c) openigloo also happen around birthdays, etc.

Pest control was great- we (c) openigloo had a mouse once and (c) openigloo the super came, did a (c) openigloo thorough search, found/fixed a hole (c) openigloo in the wall, we (c) openigloo never saw it again (it’s (c) openigloo been 2 years pest-free).

Apartment faces rear of the (c) openigloo building which is quiet until (c) openigloo anyone has a party in (c) openigloo the backyard. We used white (c) openigloo noise machines. The inside of (c) openigloo the building is pest-free but (c) openigloo the whole block has rats (c) openigloo after dark especially.

super pleasant, clean walk up

lots of rats on the (c) openigloo street and no AC!

It is a nice building, (c) openigloo nothing more

The managment office can be (c) openigloo more responsive

Close to A/B/C/D and 1/2 (c) openigloo stations

Inconsistent heat and hot water No (c) openigloo building-wide communications Property managers WILL gaslight (c) openigloo you and do the bare (c) openigloo minimum to “fix” issues This is (c) openigloo not a non-smoking building No (c) openigloo live-in super Package theft

Apartment was huge with brand (c) openigloo new furnishings (it was a (c) openigloo newly renovated apartment) and the (c) openigloo building owners were always responsive (c) openigloo when we had issues. The (c) openigloo neighbors were kind and courteous.

The exterior has a ton (c) openigloo of scaffolding. This blocked a (c) openigloo bit of light on our (c) openigloo floor, and lead to a (c) openigloo lot of dirt & sketchy (c) openigloo behavior below the scaffolding (c) openigloo (especially at night)

Get rid of the scaffolding!

Unit is pretty good / (c) openigloo clean. One of the three (c) openigloo bedrooms has a lot of (c) openigloo light.

The landlord RARELY replies, really (c) openigloo only is ever in contact (c) openigloo about rent/resigning. Cockroaches— and landlord (c) openigloo didn’t help out. the unit (c) openigloo is always too hot even (c) openigloo in winter Some rooms don’t (c) openigloo have enough light for the (c) openigloo price

Please invest in pest control and respond to your tenants. Charge fair prices for shittier rooms.
