    Review Summary for 331 East 5 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 331 East 5 Street praise its prime East Village location, quiet street next to a police precinct, and well-managed cleanliness and garbage systems. Tenants highlight the responsive, friendly super and safe package handling. The building offers valued shared outdoor space and laundry facilities, promoting community interaction. However, units are consistently described as small with limited counter and storage space, and some note difficult layouts and narrow staircases. Pest issues are minor but present near trash areas. Heating is generally effective but sometimes noisy, and water pressure varies. Overall, renters appreciate the safe, clean environment but recommend improvements in apartment size and amenities.

    Great apartment & outdoor space
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Clean, well managed building. Packages are relatively safe - I have never gotten anything stolen and I have quite a few shipments come in each month, but I have heard some neighbors have had packages stolen, particularly during the holidays. Super and landlord are always very responsive. Great shared outdoor space - wonderful for having company over. Tenants have parties in the yard which can be noisy, but there is a rule that the yard cannot be used after 10pm which is generally followed.
    Cons:
    Mice can be in the trash cans by the entrance - somewhat unavoidable. I have never seen a rodent inside the building. I have seen some very small bugs, but everything minor overall.
    Advice to owner:
    Great job!
