Review Summary for 245 East 19 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 245 East 19 Street highlight its excellent location in Gramercy with spacious apartments and friendly doormen as major benefits. Residents appreciate reasonable rent and good water pressure, but the building’s age shows with outdated heating and cooling units, frequent maintenance needs, and pest problems, particularly rats. Noise is a frequent issue, especially near 2nd Avenue, and management is often criticized for slow or unresponsive maintenance and poor communication channels. While the neighborhood and staff are praised, tenants urge for better pest control, building upkeep, and updated infrastructure to improve living conditions.

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
