Review Summary for 355 East 4 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 355 East 4 Street highlight a building with a great location and spacious units but significant management and maintenance issues. Tenants frequently report pest infestations, especially mice and roaches, as a major problem. Heating is unreliable, with many complaining of either no heat or excessive heat. Garbage management and cleanliness are inconsistent, contributing to unsanitary conditions. Noise levels vary, with some appreciating quieter top floors. Owner responsiveness is commonly described as slow or neglectful, leading to prolonged unresolved issues. While neighbors are generally viewed positively, the building requires substantial investment and improved management to enhance resident satisfaction.

Mice and terrible heat!!
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great super, great neighbors, spacious unit, fairly responsive
Cons:
Many mice. Over half of our first year was trying to solve our pest problem. We resigned but know you will see mice here.
Advice to owner:
Invest money into this building to restore it (not gut it)

It's okay for the most part?
Former Tenant
Pros:
Trash management was great, none of my packages were ever stolen in the package locker, and the stairs were generally pretty clean.
Cons:
- Little to no hot water ever.
- Holes in the apartment. Never had pests (we think).
- Lived on the top floor, so during a flood the plaster on my ceiling started coming off and it started leaking. took them a couple days to even come by to fix it.
- Had a bunch of mosquitoes in my room for about a month straight due to them getting in somehow - getting someone to come and look at the issue a couple times was easy but it didn't really fix the problem as far as I'm concerned. They only really subdued because the weather got colder.
Advice to owner:
Just look at the cons list
