Review Summary for 156 2 Avenue
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant reviews at 156 2 AVENUE showcase a mixed experience. Residents appreciate the ideal location, spacious units, and steam heat. However, major concerns include consistent issues with pests, theft of packages, slow management responses, and occasional uncleanliness. Mouse problems and noise disturbances have been recurring issues for some tenants. Suggestions include improving security, addressing maintenance promptly, and enhancing overall cleanliness. Despite some positives, like the elevator and friendly neighbors, the building's management responsiveness and pest control need significant improvement to offer a better living experience.

Bad trash management but otherwise fine
Former Tenant
Pros:
No serious problems with the building itself.
Cons:
Outdoor metal trash receptacle not sealed so it’s constantly full of rats, which makes taking out your trash really gross

Poorly Managed, Great Apartments
Former Tenant
Pros:
The super is very kind and is usually responsive and timely with helping with issues.
Apartments are a large size but they are renovating all of them to get more tenants/higher rent = smaller rooms/living areas.
Tenants are friendly and young (typical to the area).
Rent is a fair price for the market.

Cons:
Property manager is impossible to work with. Never responds and has a terrible attitude if you raise any concerns. Another tenant was asked to leave because they complained so much.
Old building so lots of leaking, rodents, other pests.
Constant construction (summer 22)
Packages ALWAYS stolen/ripped open if left more than a few hours.
Building managers are scamming people out of their security deposits.

Advice to owner:
Respond to your tenants and treat them with respect (at a minimum).
Upgrade security so that tenants don’t have to worry about valuables going missing.
Do something about the constant water damage.
Do something about the insane rodent problem.
Clean the outside of the building so it doesn’t look like a garbage center.
