    Review Summary for 206 East 17 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews for 206 East 17 Street, Manhattan praise the historic, quiet location and friendly neighbors. Positive aspects include soundproofing, responsive staff for emergencies, and good water pressure. However, some concerns raised were occasional mice sightings, slow management responses to non-emergencies, and the lack of online rent payment options. Suggestions include upgrading the building's infrastructure and creating a digital portal for rent payments. Despite minor issues, overall approval and recommendations were given for those seeking a well-located, pre-war charm building with character in downtown Manhattan.

    Homey pre-war community
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    It’s a lovely beaux arts building on a beautiful historic street; surprisingly quiet despite being a block west of the Mt Sinai emergency room (no ambulances go past because 17th st runs E-W). Elevator and laundry in building, all in working order. Nice thick soundproof walls and friendly neighbors!
    Cons:
    Management sometimes needs to be bugged a few times to respond/deal with issues (so far, a broken overhead light and one mouse sighting that have now been fixed). Sometimes the trash and recycling piles up in the basement a bit much the day or two before trash day, but nothing super gross.
    Advice to owner:
    Invest in revamping your website (currently broken) and adding a digital portal for rent payments!

    Just don’t move here despite the price
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Cheaper rent for many reasons…
    Cons:
    Mice infestation, frequent heat and hot water outages with little notice, basement is disgusting and mice ridden with open trash cans and cardboard boxes. Avoid at all cost
    Advice to owner:
    Clean your building and act like you care about the tenants
