Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for 520 East 14 Street in Manhattan underscores its prime location with convenient access to groceries, public transit, and vibrant neighborhood amenities, which renters find highly appealing. However, the building struggles with maintenance issues including pest infestations (mice and cockroaches), outdated and dark apartments, inconsistent heating, and problematic noise levels from neighbors or building infrastructure. Management responsiveness is mixed—while some find them kind and reachable, others report delays and unprofessional interactions, contributing to tenant frustration. Despite these challenges, some appreciate the community vibe and potential value, though many suggest urgent improvements in cleanliness, pest control, and management communication to enhance living conditions.

Needs reno but great location!

Pros

Great location and easy access to grocery stores and the L train/busses. Everything you could need is walking distance

Cons

The apartments are old, dark and need renovations. Overpriced compared to other options in the east village. Management team is quick to answer the phone, but getting someone to the apartment when there’s an issue takes time. But they are very kind and easy to work with!
