    Review Summary for 221 East 21 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews for 221 East 21 Street highlight mixed experiences. Residents appreciate the spacious units, in-unit dishwasher, and responsive super. However, concerns arise about malfunctioning laundry machines, rude owners, and outdated apartments. Some suggest improvements in owner responsiveness and building cleanliness. The location is praised for friendly neighbors, but noise penetration through doors and inadequate window insulation is an issue. Pest problems, unresponsiveness from the landlord and broker, and building security are major drawbacks. Improved maintenance and attentive repairs are requested for a better living experience.

    Not the best place to live....
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Spacious apartments, although could use updating. Laundry in the building and dishwasher in-unit. Super (Albert) is responsive and helpful.
    Cons:
    Laundry machines always eating money, elevator stalls frequently and is unusable. Building owners are rude. Apartments are outdated but functional. AC unit is a nightmare.

    Mostly positive, with some notable setbacks
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Amazing location, with friendly neighbors. The backside of the building is very very quite. Packages are always safe.

    This building feels like home.
    Cons:
    Walls are well insulated, but front doors let noise in very easily. Single pane/leaky windows aren't great, elevator is kinda gross with strange liquid leaking into lights. General cleanliness could be improved.

    Owner/Super responsiveness has severely declined in the last 6 months or so. I've asked for items to be addressed, with no response and to no avail.
    Advice to owner:
    Improved to attentiveness to repairs would be greatly appreciated.
