Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 116 East 31 Street reveal a mixed experience for tenants. The building benefits from a desirable Manhattan location and quiet surroundings, with friendly neighbors adding to the appeal. However, significant issues arise with management responsiveness, particularly after a fire in 2022, leading to ongoing heat and hot water outages throughout the winter. This has left tenants feeling neglected and frustrated with inadequate rent concessions. While cleanliness and pest control are points of concern, the building's robust water pressure and active renovations are seen as positives. Overall, potential renters should weigh these factors carefully before considering this building.

Reviews of 116 East 31 Street

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

DO NOT LIVE HERE!

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 the owners

Fix the heat and hot water issue and respect your tenants.

Former tenant·Over 3 years ago

Good area, terrible management

Pros

The building is undergoing renovations and is in a great spot in Manhattan (safe area, walkable neighborhood, restaurants and bars nearby).

Cons

This building experienced a fire in summer 2022, and there have been a litany of issues since. Management has poor responsiveness and a lack of empathy to these issues, and has avoided taking responsibility or accountability for their mistakes.
