Review Summary for 50 East 8 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 50 East 8 Street highlight its prime, central Manhattan location and helpful, friendly staff as strong positives. Tenants appreciate large apartments, clean laundry facilities, and efficient garbage management. However, the building shows signs of aging, with thin walls causing noise issues and occasional plumbing problems like leaks and poor drainage. Pest control, particularly cockroach presence, remains a concern for some residents despite owner responsiveness. Though lacking modern amenities and needing renovation, the building's advantageous location and attentive management make it an appealing choice, especially for students and those valuing convenience.

Fairly nice building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Nice staff, organized package room and laundry room in a great location, very central.
Cons:
Constant cockroach issues, building is old so you can hear your neighbors constantly, I have had pipes leak and toilet water from the person above me leak into my bathroom. The apartment is old and lots of things need to be renovated. The water doesn’t drain properly in the sink in the bathroom and sometimes I hear mice behind the walls but thankfully have never seen any. I finally had to tape the vents in my apartment which stopped the cockroach infestation.
Advice to owner:
Renovate the apartment
