Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 225 East 28th Street indicate that while the building benefits from a friendly neighborhood and convenient location, significant issues mar the experience. Residents have reported persistent pest problems, particularly cockroaches and mice, and a lack of responsiveness from property management exacerbates these challenges. Concerns about cleanliness, noise levels, and the inadequacy of heating have also been noted. Although there are appealing features like in-unit washer dryers and decent water pressure, the overall dissatisfaction with management and high rental costs lead to recommendations for improvements in property maintenance and tenant support.

Reviews of 225 East 28 Street

Former tenant·just now

Lots of potential but awful property management

Pros

Young crowd of neighbors who are all generally friendly and nice layouts. In unit washer dryer is also a nice plus.

Cons

1. The property management group is the worst I have ever dealt with. Completely unresponsive to urgent issues and generally make administrative errors at every turn. 2. Location is across from a project and can be quite loud at night 3. Cockroach and mouse problem which can be an issue in most pre war buildings 4. New rental prices are untenable for the value.

Advice to the owners

The property management group is universally disliked by all tenants. Replace them asap and the property will be much more successful.
