Review Summary for 2186 5 Ave
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant reviews for 2186 5th Avenue highlight a mix of experiences. One review raises concerns about unresponsive management, inconsistent heating, and slow maintenance, despite the location and great neighbors. In contrast, a positive review praises the building's cleanliness, sense of community, amenities like a doorman, and responsive maintenance, while addressing high rent and occasional pest issues. Another negative review warns against roaches and noise disturbances in an older building.

Management unresponsiveness if your email is deemed unnecessary. Roaches if unlucky. High rent. On 5th Avenue close to a hospital so an ambulance passes at least every hour.

Avoid this Building!
Former Tenant
Pros:
Elevator, laundry (roaches included), doorman
Cons:
It's an older building infested with roaches and mice. Concrete construction is extra conducive to noise. You will hear your neighbors on the phone.
Advice to owner:
None really. It's a lost cause.
