    Review Summary for 208 East 28 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Tenant reviews for 208 East 28 Street praise its convenient Manhattan location near hospitals and transit, spacious and well-designed apartments, and well-maintained common areas including a beautiful lobby. Residents value the responsive and diligent superintendent who handles day-to-day needs effectively, contributing to cleanliness and pest control. Noise is mixed—some report quiet neighbors and minimal noise, while others note ambulance sirens and sounds from nearby buildings. A common concern is the slow responsiveness of building management compared to the super. Heating can be inconsistent in winter, and walls may be somewhat thin. Overall, tenants recommend the building for its comfort and location despite these minor issues.

    208 E 28th St: Pretty good
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Very convenient location (hospitals nearby, TJs and Target very close, 6 train and M15SBS accessible).
    Great super - very responsive and quick to address issues; takes excellent care of shared spaces.
    The building is quite nice and the apartments are well played out and relatively spacious.
    Cons:
    Can get noisy because of ambulances and unruly neighbors.
    Management is pretty hard to contact. You’ll probably have to send several emails and call multiple times to get a hold of them.
    Advice to owner:
    Please be more responsive.
