    Review Summary for 309 East 8 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 309 East 8 Street highlight a well-maintained building with clean hallways and exposed brick. Residents appreciate the quiet street, proximity to the park, and updated features. However, challenges include small living spaces, issues with water pressure, delayed maintenance responses, package theft, and pests. Some tenants have concerns about neighbor behavior and difficulties in obtaining security deposit returns. Despite these drawbacks, there are mixed feelings about recommending the building due to ongoing issues with theft and maintenance delays.

    Small but Well Maintained
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Exposed brick and well maintained building - everything is very nice, very quiet street (they often put barricades up between 7th and 10th on Ave B so cars hardly ever come down this street), proximity to the park
    Cons:
    My apartment was very small, water pressure wasn't great, usually took a couple weeks and a couple emails/texts to get stuff fixed, it's far from subway stations, nice gyms, and restaurants (there are two small grocery stores nearby but I have to go 6-7 blocks away for a full one. There was a drunk living in the building for awhile who was a legacy from a rent stabilized building, but I believe they forced him out. Not sure how I feel about it, but he isn't here anymore.
    Advice to owner:
    Used to be solid for the price - the advertised rent is now 16% higher than what we got it for a year ago.

    Small, mice, but updated
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Updated and clean hallways.
    Cons:
    Small, steep stairs. Mice infested with little to no improvements. Neighbor that consistently stole packages and causes many problems for the building. Centennial properties will do anything in their power to delay giving you your security deposit return.
    Advice to owner:
    Evict A2.
