Review Summary for 194 East 2 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Tenant feedback for 194 East 2 Street highlights its superb East Village location, friendly doormen, onsite laundry, and unique outdoor terrace as key assets. Many praise responsive management and a generally well-maintained building with updated amenities, despite occasional elevator delays and some plumbing issues. However, several renters report pest problems, noise disturbances—especially from party-prone neighbors—and security concerns due to lax doorman screening. The gym is frequently described as inadequate. Opinions on ownership vary, with some noting a decline in maintenance and responsiveness under new management. Overall, it suits those valuing location and community but may challenge those sensitive to noise, pests, and building upkeep.

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.
