    Review Summary for 121 East 31 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 121 East 31 Street highlight spacious, pre-war style apartments with strong water pressure and efficient central heating. Tenants appreciate friendly doormen, good location near subway access and grocery stores, and clean common areas. The building features amenities like an elevator, laundry, and pet-friendly policies. However, several renters report pest control issues, particularly roaches, and note smaller, outdated kitchen spaces with limited counter area. Some express concerns about management responsiveness and occasional security difficulties. Overall, it suits those valuing larger units and convenience, though pest management and modernizing interiors could improve the living experience.
