Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of buildings managed by 1278-1284 FIRST AVENUE REALTY LLC reflect a mix of experiences. Tenants appreciate the great Upper East Side location, responsive management staff, and generally quiet environment with good water pressure. Some highlight the friendly superintendent and decent neighbor relations. However, aging building infrastructure leads to issues such as inconsistent heating, occasional power problems, loud ambient noise near the hospital, and pest control challenges. Cleanliness and garbage management receive mixed ratings, with some concerns about shared trash areas and entrance upkeep. Overall, while management is seen as responsive at times, ongoing improvements in maintenance and pest control are needed for better tenant satisfaction.

Reviews

Former tenant·5 minutes ago

Tiny, old apartments in great location

Pros

Affordable at the time, amazing location, fairly quiet at back of the building, has ceiling fans

Cons

Old building so power would go out when I used more than one kitchen appliance at a time (oven and microwave). The trash area is shared with the business next door and another building. There's no real lobby area and the entrance was sometimes dirty with water. Very small rooms and no living area, so really only good for short term. No view from back units. No AC and windows have fire escape so you need bulky standing unit or it gets very hot. You're cut off from the neighborhood during NYC Marathon day. Small closets and limited storage.

Advice to the owners

Improve heating, electric, keep rent fair for size of space

Decent UES apartment

Pros

Clean, and responsive super. Good water pressure.

Cons

Loud, near the hospital so sirens go on all night. Radiator was very creaky.

Advice to the owners

Keep up with radiator maintenance.
