Review Summary for 649 East 9 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 649 East 9 Street reveal significant pest control issues, with many tenants reporting persistent bed bug and rodent infestations that have severely affected their living experience. Garbage management and cleanliness are also frequently criticized, contributing to the pest problems. While some tenants note that superintendents respond quickly to individual concerns, management overall is seen as unresponsive or ineffective in addressing key maintenance and security issues, including package theft and malfunctioning entry fobs. Positive aspects include generally good neighbor relations and adequate water pressure. Prospective renters should be cautious and prioritize pest remediation and building upkeep improvements.

DO NOT LIVE HERE
Former Tenant
Pros:
Nothing. This apt was a traumatic experience.
Cons:
Bed bugs and other pests. Building manager was the worst and continuously screwed us over. We made them pay for multiple bed bug treatments which we had to fight for. The entire building has an infestation. Refused to let us break the lease after multiple bedbug treatments. Would’ve taken them to court if it money wasn’t an issue
Advice to owner:
Fumigate the entire building to get rid of the bedbugs once and for all. The spotty treatments you do just displace them to other apts and they end up coming back
