    Review Summary for 629 East 5 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 629 East 5 Street reveal a mix of strengths and challenges. Residents appreciate features like spacious, sunny apartments, natural light, and proximity to vibrant neighborhood spots. Some praise the responsive handyman and improved security measures. However, common complaints include inconsistent cleanliness, pest issues, occasional elevator breakdowns, and unresponsive management or landlords. Garbage management and neighborhood safety also draw criticism. Noise levels are generally acceptable, and water pressure is strong. Renters suggest enhancing communication with tenants and maintaining shared spaces better to boost living experience. Overall, the building suits those valuing location and light but may require patience with maintenance and management.

    responsive super, sunny bedrooms
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    - responsive super + building handyman
    - sunny, large windows
    - friendly neighbors
    Cons:
    - in my first year there was a common room + back patio that we had access to. In the second year, they removed this amenity without notifying residents
    - elevator broke down frequently
    - butterflyMX access system (remote door access) would fail sometimes
    - we had an issue with stolen packages for a while but they improved the main door security

    Very nice place, unresponsive landlord
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Clean and renovated apartment in a pretty quiet area. Great location for young people, as it is close to a ton of bars and restaurants in the East Village. Place has a decent amount of natural light as well as in-unit laundry.
    Cons:
    Pretty dirty street, and lots of rats at night. The company that leases the building (June Homes) is pretty unresponsive about fixing things. When we moved-in the oven and microwave weren't working — it's been two months and they haven't fixed them.
    Advice to owner:
    Please respond to your tenants more appropriately.
