    Review Summary for 129 East 4 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    129 East 4 Street in Manhattan offers a clean, well-maintained living environment with quiet, respectful neighbors and solid building conditions. Residents appreciate the responsive landlord and regularly maintained trash and hallways. The location benefits from being central yet peaceful, with some units notably quiet and newer-feeling despite the building's age. However, the switch to an automated heating system has caused inconsistent warmth in winter, occasionally leaving apartments cold overnight. Some units face reduced sunlight due to nearby construction and scaffolding. Additionally, being a walk-up building with no elevator may be a consideration. Overall, it remains a recommended and comfortable option in the East Village.

    Clean, well maintained building but cold in winter
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The super is great - on site every day
    Trash room is emptied daily
    Hallways always clean
    Neighbors are mostly quiet, respectful
    Landlord is very responsive
    Cons:
    They switched to an automated heating system and now it is really cold in the winter, for long stretches. The heat cuts off in the middle of the night (when we really need it) and on in the daytime (when we really don't).

    Occasional pests, mice, but we live near the trash room so perhaps to be expected.

    Clean, well-maintained building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    If you get a nice unit, the building is solid. Good condition for an older building. The apartments facing the back are very quiet for how central the location is.
    Cons:
    My ground floor unit did not get much sunlight to begin win, but the building put up scaffolding over my window a few months after I moved in due to construction on another building bordering the back.
