Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 1290 1 Avenue emphasize its prime Upper East Side location near subway, shops, and parks, making it attractive for families. However, tenants report significant issues with building maintenance: frequent heating failures, inconsistent hot water, pest problems (especially rodents and roaches), and poor garbage management. Many note that management and ownership are largely unresponsive or slow to address urgent concerns, including water leaks and pest infestation. While the interior units appear renovated, the building's aging infrastructure and cleanliness are ongoing challenges. Overall, renters recommend the building only for its location, cautioning about maintenance and management shortcomings.

aggressively fine building

Pros

Electricity works, building is quiet (even if the street noise is not) and the pests issue was limited to the basement in the time I lived there

Cons

Hot water takes a long time, no heat at times in winter, pests (roaches) in basement and occassionally first floor. They take care of them but it's still a problem.
