Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 231 Mott Street point out severe issues with cleanliness, unresponsive management, and neglected repairs. However, the building's prime location and proximity to amenities are appreciated. Concerns include unsatisfactory heating, pest control, and neighbor disturbances. Tenants advise proper maintenance and urge management to address urgent safety violations promptly. Despite some positives like rent-stabilized units and excellent water pressure, the majority discontent with the owner's responsiveness and poor building upkeep, leading to a lack of recommendation for potential renters seeking a well-managed living experience.
