    Review Summary for 243 East 13 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews for 243 East 13 Street in Manhattan point out the building's prime location, renovated apartments, and generally responsive management. However, recurring issues with heating, pest control, and water pressure are of concern. Some tenants reported disrespectful behavior from the owner and delayed resolutions for maintenance requests.

    Horrible, sketchy management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The building is in a perfect location in the city on a quiet street
    Cons:
    The management is horrible and super sketchy. They gave us an illegal "deal" on rent. The refuse to clean the windows, which are so dirty you can't see out of them. The heat was out for 11 days during the coldest week of the year, and they provided no solution, or rent abatement. MANY apartments have mice infestations. The crown molding is literally falling apart in the apartments and hallways. The tenants leave garbage bags inside the building. The landlord is the worst human being I've ever met and will talk to you like you are an idiot. The apartment was also not cleaned or painted when I moved in, and the landlord did not offer prorated rent even though it was no where near ready to move in.
    Advice to owner:
    Take better care of the building

    Evan Bell is snide and disrespectful to tenants
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Proximity to union square.
    Cons:
    Building is run by incredibly poor management, specifically the property owner, Evan Bell, who treats tenants with no respect and appears to be under the influence at work due to his slurred, misspelled words and improper use of grammar in all written communications. Additionally the building regularly does not have hot water due to ongoing boiler issues that they have not permanently fixed. We went without heat or hot water during 8 days in January with no notice or compensation. When we withheld the appropriate amount of rent for the outages, the management company threatened to sue use for withholding rent even though they clearly broke the law. Additionally, we have had several issues with mice and mold that have gone largely unresolved by the building.
