    Review Summary for 520 East 12 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 520 East 12 Street paint a mixed picture. Renters value its prime East Village location, proximity to transportation, shops, and parks, as well as features like thick walls and sturdy window gates. The building is noted to have an elevator and some seasonal decorations adding charm. However, cleanliness and garbage management are major concerns, with reports of infrequent hallway cleaning and persistent rodent issues inside walls and ceilings. While some appreciate the owner's responsiveness in addressing pests, others find management and maintenance lacking. Noise levels are generally moderate, but neighbor interactions receive mixed feedback. Improvements in cleanliness and pest control are crucial.

    Perfect Starter Apartment
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great building that is well kept.
    Cons:
    Had a roach problem when I first moved in, they were very good about getting traps, pest control exterminating, and being responsive and we were able to get rid of the problem quickly!

    Good location, some neighbors are friendly
    Cons:
    Super is lazy and does nothing to keep the building clean. Trash is always all over the ground. Rats, mice and roaches!

    Get a new super and keep the building clean!
