Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of 147 East 30 Street reveal a mix of positive features and notable challenges. Renters appreciate spacious units with high ceilings, on-site laundry, and a responsive super who is friendly and willing to help. The building is generally quiet inside, with good water pressure and decent pest control inside apartments. However, complaints include inconsistent heating—often inadequate in winter—and occasional pest problems in shared areas. Noise from some neighbors and street traffic, as well as issues related to the nearby homeless shelter, affect the living experience. Management responsiveness varies, with some tenants reporting slow or insufficient communication, particularly regarding urgent repairs. The rent payment process is outdated, requiring in-person or mail submission. Overall, the building suits those valuing large units and quiet interior spaces but could improve maintenance responsiveness and neighbors' community atmosphere.

Solid low-touch building

Pros

Apartments are generally good, building is reasonably well managed if a little low-touch. Great unit size/ceiling height and does have laundry in basement. No major pest problems in units. Very quiet inside unless your neighbors are noisy.

Cons

You may have to bug them about issues but they do eventually get resolved. Pests in the basement (trash/laundry area) can be a bit gnarly. Neighbors are hit or miss, some recent grads who think they still live in frathouses. Back of building units don't get much light most of the year.
