    Review Summary for 286 East 2 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews for 286 EAST 2 STREET highlight concerning issues with cleanliness, garbage management, heating, pests, and unresponsive management. Rent increases without improvements, package theft, and maintenance delays are recurrent complaints. However, positive aspects include decent location, hot water availability, friendly neighbors, and good water pressure. Suggestions include better maintenance, realistic pricing, and improved owner responsiveness. While some recommend the building for its charm, others caution against living there due to management shortcomings and building maintenance issues.

    DO NOT LIVE HERE, management company is a scam, doesn't exist
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Decent location. Water gets hot. Outskirts of LES/EV. Washer/Drier in unit instead of dishwasher was nice perk.
    Cons:
    They raise the rent like crazy each year (20% increases), don't fix stuff when it's broken, are late to dealing with bugs/insects (we dealt with them ourselves). Young building (lot of students/loud). Insanely hot in winter (you'll need to keep AC ON). I have videos of roaches in hallways and apartment. Caught 2 mice. Stolen packages. There was a fire in our basement, no fire alarms went off. Fully smoked out the building, unlivable conditions for 2 months. Wouldn't respond to any of our emails. Kept our full rent and security deposits. Absolutely unacceptable behavior from a garbage company. ZERO accountability for the issues they create. They wouldn't prorate or refund any of the rent. Please do yourself a favor and do NOT live here.
    Advice to owner:
    Do the opposite of everything you're currently doing
