Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 145 East 16 Street in Manhattan underscore the building's prime location near public transit and a reputation for cleanliness, with commendations for the friendly doormen and responsive maintenance staff. However, significant concerns about pest control, particularly a recurring rodent issue, and ineffective management communications persist. Many renters have noted inconsistent heating and occasional water pressure problems. Increased rent prices have also become a sticking point. While some residents appreciate the spacious living environments, the lack of amenities and the perceived disconnect from management may deter potential renters. Overall, the building offers a mix of strong presence but notable shortcomings.

Too Expensive for what you get

Pros

Doormen are incredible, I love all of them, they get to know you, are super helpful and make sure the building is safe. The maintenance was also pretty good, they were quick to make repairs.

Cons

Management was terrible, so hard to communicate with. They have a major rodent and pest problem. Our apartment had a massive roach problem, we saw about 20 in our time there. They were suppose to get the exterminator but we only saw him once. I was in another apartment in the building and saw a mouse. The building does not turn on the AC until June 1st, no matter the heat in may (when I was living here it went up to 100 and they didn't turn it on). They also raised my rent over $400.
