    Review Summary for 116 East 31 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 116 EAST 31 STREET highlight its prime location in a safe, walkable Manhattan neighborhood with quiet, pleasant neighbors and good water pressure. However, tenants report persistent issues following a 2022 fire, including unreliable heat and hot water during NYC winters. Management and owner responsiveness are consistently criticized for being slow, disrespectful, and unaccommodating, with minimal rent concessions despite subpar living conditions. Cleanliness and pest control are concerns, and garbage management receives mixed feedback. While the building offers a desirable area and peaceful environment, ongoing maintenance failures and poor management dampen the living experience, discouraging recommendations from current residents.

    DO NOT LIVE HERE!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Cons significantly outweigh any pros
    Cons:
    We were left with constant heat and hot water outages at random times throughout the entire NYC winter and it's still ongoing. There were nights where it was less than 10 degrees and we had no heat and hot water. There was even a course of 3 days with no heat or hot water. Our point of contact with Brighton Management Company was condescending, disrespectful, unresponsive at times, and we feel completely taken advantage of. There was VERY little rent concession offered for an apartment that was uninhabitable under the NYC housing laws for a whole winter. Do not recommend anyone living here.
    Advice to owner:
    Fix the heat and hot water issue and respect your tenants.
