Review Summary for 108 East 38 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
The building at 108 East 38 Street offers a well-managed environment with friendly doormen, helpful staff, and a sense of safety. Its central location near Grand Central is a significant advantage. Tenants note the building’s older construction brings some quirks like uneven heat distribution, creaky floors, and occasional pest issues, including cockroaches and waterbugs, which management actively addresses with regular extermination. Noise levels are generally moderate, and neighbors are friendly, contributing to a welcoming community. Some renters mentioned outdated appliances and rising rents as downsides. Overall, responsive management and convenient amenities like in-building laundry and a gym make it a solid choice.
