Review Summary for 202 East 21 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 202 East 21 Street reflect a polarized renter experience. Positives include the building's convenient Manhattan location, good natural light, and some praise for an attentive super and certain management efforts. However, recurring issues heavily impact tenant satisfaction: persistent noise complaints and problematic neighbors create an uncomfortable environment; building maintenance is frequently criticized, notably heating failures, poor cleanliness, pest infestations, and garbage management problems. Owner responsiveness is viewed as inadequate by many, with allegations of tenant harassment and unresolved repair requests. Prospective renters should approach cautiously, as community and management challenges may affect quality of life despite advantageous location and occasional attentive staff.

Do not live here and avoid Apt 4D/2D
Former Tenant
Pros:
Overall, the neighborhood was great and our neighbors were good. if you are considering renting here, just avoid Unit 4D/2D like the plague.
Cons:
Woman who lives in 3D is not well and mentally unstable. she bangs on the ceiling constantly and reports very minimal noise to the police. for the past year the police would constantly come to our apartment for noise complaints. It was horrible and happened almost daily. We had to leave after one year as landlord would not do anything about it. Avoid at all costs.
Advice to owner:
Evict tenant from 3D
