Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews of 221 East Broadway paint a mixed picture. The building’s location, rooftop access, and some in-unit amenities like laundry and dishwashers are appreciated, along with friendly neighbors and relatively quiet noise levels. However, persistent issues include poor management responsiveness, subpar cleanliness, frequent pest problems (cockroaches, mice, bed bugs), trash mismanagement, and maintenance troubles such as broken appliances, leaking ceilings, and heating inconsistencies. Several renters highlight slow or inadequate repairs and concerns over noise insulation. While some tenants recommend the building due to location and price, many warn potential renters about management shortcomings and ongoing building upkeep challenges.

From Beautiful to Horrific

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 the owners

I moved out in 1969. Building was sold, renovated & now permanently closed. Wonder why?
