Review Summary for 87 East 4 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 87 East 4 Street praise its prime East Village location, large, bright apartments with high ceilings, and well-managed cleanliness, garbage removal, and pest control. Residents appreciate the quiet, respectful neighbors and strong water pressure. However, noise from nearby nightlife venues affects lower floors, and heating can be inconsistent. A common concern is the unresponsive, sometimes rude management, especially the property manager, leading to unresolved maintenance issues. Security system deficiencies are also noted. While the building's character and amenities attract tenants, improved management responsiveness and enhanced security would significantly elevate the living experience.

Great Apartments, Absent Management
Former Tenant
Pros:
Apartments have high ceilings, good lighting and large bedrooms, Great location.
Cons:
Secruity system was lacking, with broken cameras and building doors didnt fully shut. If you live on the side of the building that shares a wall with KGB and comedy club prepare to be kept up all night.
Advice to owner:
Fix security in building, be more resposive when things need to be fixed

Great location/"bones" - Horrible Management
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location is incredible being in the EV on the cusp of LES and Bowery. 12 foot ceilings with tin tile and crown molding. Beautiful exposed brick. Heat is paid for by mgmt. Trash is taken out daily. Building residents are quiet and respectful. Large bedrooms for the EV. Beautiful large 7 foot tall windows if you are facing the north.
Cons:
Management responses to maintenance requests are half-assed and never followed through. I have spoken more with other members in the office versus the actual property manager, Jay.
Filthy apartment upon move-in. I had to "fight" to get it cleaned. Broken fridge. Dual front-load W/D disgustingly moldy upon move-in - we spent lots of money to attempt to fix the issue to no avail. It has not been fixed by them after 3 months of this issue being raised multiple times - rendering it unusable. It is now just a giant piece of junk taking up a lot of closet space.
Because heat is managed by the owners - it can get quite toasty on warmer winter/spring days before they shut it off in late April.
It is above an Italian restaurant + a comedy club and next to a bar, so there can be noise from them... but it isn't too glaringly bad. This is more prevalent in the second floor units.
