Review Summary for 236 East 5 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Reviews for 236 East 5 Street highlight its safety, cleanliness, and appealing community of young tenants. Residents value strong water pressure and generally good pest control. However, issues persist with broken lobby doors and frequent package thefts. Noise levels and thin walls are concerns, with some describing the environment as loud and disruptive, especially during daytime construction periods. Heating reliability varies, and management responsiveness receives mixed feedback, ranging from timely to poor. Some tenants express frustration over invasive maintenance practices and aggressive landlord behavior. Overall, while the building offers a nice living space and location, improvements in security, building maintenance, and landlord communication are recommended.
