    Review Summary for 291 East 3 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 291 East 3 Street commend the attentive and responsive management team and the building's cleanliness and amenities, including elevator, laundry, roof access, and package lockers. The location near Alphabet City offers vibrant dining and nightlife options. However, common issues include unreliable heating, costly utilities paid by tenants, frequent elevator breakdowns, pest problems (rats, mice, and bees), noise disturbances from nearby Airbnb units, and a lack of security for packages. Recycling facilities are insufficient, and the distance to public transit is considered inconvenient by some. Rent is perceived as high relative to apartment conditions. Potential renters should weigh these pros and cons carefully.

    Good management here
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Management is responsive. Super and other workers very attentive and good people.
    Cons:
    Elevator breaks down a lot. Recycling process needs improvement. Heat is paid by the tenant and is expensive.

    Decent, just pricey
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Building was quiet and decently clean. The supers were regularly working on building upkeep. They were responsive to maintenance requests but, like many places, resorted to cheap/quick fixes.
    Cons:
    Next to a green space so there were definitely rats outside and had some bugs inside.

    Rent was expensive because of the area but the apartment itself could use an upgrade. Everything was functional though.
