Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenants appreciate the East Village building at 342 East 9th Street for its excellent cleanliness, efficient garbage management, and friendly neighbors. They find the responsive owners a key advantage, despite some issues like uneven heating in one unit and a lack of natural light. However, one tenant faced challenges with an unreasonable landlord, outdated amenities, and theft issues. Overall, the building is recommended for its proactive management and vibrant neighborhood, though suggestions include addressing temperature control and building upkeep to enhance the living experience further.

Loved my apartment, but it was HOT
Former Tenant
Pros:
- Great neighbors - Super fun location & neighborhood - Reasonable price, good layout - Laundry service right across the street - No pests that I saw, common areas generally clean - Matel is pretty responsive
Cons:
- The HEAT! They crank it up and it will be >90 degrees in the winter if you dont leave a window open. Leaving a window open means you have 0 percent humidity in the apartment. Impossible balance - Older unit so floors were a bit unlevel
Advice to owner:
Reduce the temperature please
