    Review Summary for 245 East 19 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Reviews for 245 East 19 Street commend its prime Gramercy location, spacious and well-lit apartments, and friendly doorman/door staff. Tenants also appreciate reasonable rent and good water pressure. However, the building shows its age with outdated, poorly maintained heating and cooling units, leading many to buy personal ACs. Pest control is often criticized as inadequate, with ongoing rodent issues, and management is frequently described as unresponsive and difficult to contact, with no email option. Noise, especially from nearby avenues and street activity, is a concern for some. Overall, renters find value here but urge improvements in maintenance, pest control, and communication.

    Tenant for over a decade
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location. Some units are stabilized. Rarely hear my neighbors. Appliances aren’t bad.
    Cons:
    Ancient heating/cooling units that break and collect dust/dirt/mildew. Gross laundry room. Poor pest control. Outside windows have never been washed.
    Advice to owner:
    Your tenants deserve functional heating and cooling. Renovate the laundry room. Wash your windows. Pests are gross. I see why you make yourself difficult to contact

    Nice location but building and units are old so requires frequent maintenance
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Good friendly 24 hour front desk staff who never lost a package before for us. Elevators are usually reliable. Most of the handyman are nice except one of them is quite lazy and forgetful about your maintenance requests. Good and relatively quiet location on the outer edge of Gramercy.
    Cons:
    Need a better and organized system to handle maintenance requests. Building is old and definitely shows its age and we oftentimes need repair work with the bathroom, lights and random fixtures. The AC/heat units are old and very dirty, full of mold, dust and debris collected over the years. The coils are not maintained so it does not dissipate indoor heat/humidity outside very well. AC not very cold and oftentimes has issues. Most people buy their own window AC unit because of this, which is an added expensive for a building that advertises central AC/heat.
