    Review Summary for 508 East 12 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Tenant reviews for 508 East 12 Street, Manhattan consistently highlight its desirable location and friendly neighbors as positive aspects. However, persistent issues include poor cleanliness, rampant pest problems (notably rats), and inadequate garbage management. Many renters report unreliable heating, low responsiveness from management, and numerous maintenance concerns such as water damage and broken appliances. Noise disturbances, particularly from a gym in the building, and security issues like unsecured windows also detract from living conditions. Despite some decent water pressure and laundry facilities, the overall experience is marred by management's slow or nonexistent response and the building’s outdated state, leading most residents to discourage renting here.
