Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 194 East 2 Street praise its prime East Village location, friendly doormen, responsive management, and well-maintained amenities like laundry on each floor and outdoor spaces. Many value the quiet weekdays and neighborly atmosphere. However, recurring concerns include inconsistent owner responsiveness, pest issues (cockroaches, occasional mice), slow elevators, subpar gym facilities, and noise from weekend parties and thin walls. Some tenants criticize lax doorman security and maintenance delays, while others note ongoing construction disrupting living conditions. Overall, the building suits renters seeking convenience and community, though improvements in management responsiveness, security, and facilities are needed.

Used to be better with old ownership
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great location, nice neighbors, updated basement gym
Cons:
New ownership is not responsive, has done very cheap updates and refuses to hire more staff resulting in a much more crowded and expensive building that is dirtier and not well kept up. It can take weeks for management to do anything.
