    Review Summary for 77 St Marks Place
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 77 St Marks Place reveal a prime East Village location near NYU and lively amenities, appealing particularly to students. Apartments feature decent closet space and some terraces. However, renters consistently report poor building cleanliness and garbage management, frequent pest infestations (mice, cockroaches, rats), and problematic noise levels. Heating systems are often faulty, with prolonged outages especially in winter. Water pressure varies, but landlord responsiveness is widely criticized as slow, unhelpful, and sometimes rude, with limited contact methods. Tenants also note management’s tendency to impose fines unfairly and difficulties with security deposit returns. Overall, while the location is desirable, significant maintenance and management issues detract from the living experience.

    Great location on a fun street
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Loved the location close to NYU and bars and restaurants
    Cons:
    Had issues with heating for many days in the winter had to buy a space heater. Could only email landlord did not have a direct number. Exorbitant costs for minor things
    Advice to owner:
    Give tenants a direct number to be used for emergencies

    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    great location on the "quiet" block of saint marks, in the middle of the EV
    Cons:
    Management is awful. Worst NYC rental experience I've had. Pests, non-functioning plumbing/heat/appliances, water leaks, and petty issuance of fines to all residents. Can research the 311 violations, the criminal activity, or the various posts on the internet about the owners.
    Advice to owner:
    "In New York City, during the winter months (October 1st to May 31st), landlords are legally required to maintain specific indoor temperatures in residential buildings. Specifically, during the day (6:00 AM to 10:00 PM), if the outside temperature falls below 55°F, the inside temperature must be at least 68°F. At night (10:00 PM to 6:00 AM), the indoor temperature must be at least 62°F, regardless of the outside temperature"
