Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for 229 East 12 Street highlights a prime East Village location with spacious apartments and friendly neighbors. Many appreciate the responsive live-in supers and the quiet residential vibe despite the lively area. Amenities like laundry in the building and good water pressure are valued. However, consistent issues with pest infestations (mice, roaches), frequent package thefts, and unreliable heating systems are common complaints. Management and owner responsiveness receive mixed reviews, with some tenants citing slow or unhelpful service. Cleanliness and garbage management vary, occasionally leading to unpleasant odors and sanitation citations. Rent increases and infrastructure aging also affect satisfaction.

Terrible Mice Problem

Pros

great location decent price great neighbors

Cons

my unit was infested with mice and they "could never find the source" packages were stolen frequently

Former tenant·4 months ago

Great first post-grad apartment

Pros

Laundry downstairs, great live-in supers and responsive building management company, trash room is clean, supers very willing to fix problems quickly, nice little mail room, quiet building especially in the back, great neighbors

Cons

the hallways are a bit ugly but classic pre-war building vibes; the apartments are nice but tiny (at least our 3BR was), packages would get stolen sometimes, it has a lot of young people which was fun for us but would probably be annoying to older people / families

Advice to the owners

keep the heat on higher!!! it was so freezing last year until we complained enough
