    Review Summary for 338 East 14 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 338 East 14 Street highlight a prime location close to the East Village and spacious apartments with natural light. However, renters consistently point out significant issues with management, including poor responsiveness, unprofessional maintenance, and unreliable security deposit returns. Cleanliness and garbage management are often rated poorly, and pest problems persist despite occasional treatments. Heating is frequently inadequate, especially on upper floors, and noise from the nearby fire station affects some tenants. Overall, the building's appeal is undermined by management and upkeep challenges, making it less desirable despite its neighborhood advantages.

    Would not recommend
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Next to fire station
    Cons:
    Upon receiving the keys for the first time the toilet was used and not flushed, dirty water from all the pipes and the shower clogged, AC was on 60 but felt like 80. Horrible urine smell in the hallway that seeps into the rooms. Dried cement and paint on the windows and floors. Nothing was cleaned and we were promised new appliances but most if not everything is used. No cameras in the hallways, walls need to be repainted and fire sign is broken. The realtor acted like he didn't know the owner changed the keys to ensure we did not get to view the apartment before giving the first check. When we have complaints, we have to go through the landlord's agent who will take responsibility for nothing.

    Too many issues for the price point
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    monthly pest control - spray and glue traps if you ask
    allows pets
    new appliances
    Cons:
    Unresponsive building management and supers that leave after a few months
    Little to no notice when the water gets shut off, and the same is true with construction being done in the building (units get renovated poorly after a tenant leaves, jacking up the price for the next one)
    Broken virtual doorman for months, so many stolen packages
    It took several hours for someone to check on a heavy leak, and when they did get around to it days later, they just caulked it over.
