    Review Summary for 221 East Broadway
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews for 221 East Broadway depict a mixed experience. While the location is praised for its convenience and amenities like laundry in units, the building faces serious issues including poor management, pest problems, and cleanliness concerns. Several residents reported lack of responsiveness from management, leaking roofs, pest infestations, and maintenance issues. The noise insulation between floors seems inadequate, affecting residents' quality of life. Although the neighborhood and some features are appreciated, significant improvements in management efficiency, maintenance quality, and pest control are crucial for enhancing the overall living experience in this building.

    From Beautiful to Horrific
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    When I first moved into this building in 1956, it was clean with brass mailboxes so shiny you could see your face in them and beautiful murals in the hallway on the first floor.
    Cons:
    When the building was sold to Elizabeth Weiss, it became a slum dwelling with poor heating, dirty hallways and those polished mailboxes became rusty.
    Advice to owner:
    I moved out in 1969. Building was sold, renovated & now permanently closed. Wonder why?
