    Review Summary for 229 East 28 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Tenants at 229 East 28 Street praise its cleanliness, good garbage management, and effective pest control in parts of the building. The community and laundry facilities receive positive mentions, along with attentive maintenance and security features. Noise levels are generally low, and water pressure is satisfactory. However, some renters report occasional water shutoffs and plumbing issues, as well as a persistent mice problem in certain areas. Neighbor interaction varies, with some encountering difficult neighbors. Management responsiveness is mostly timely but has room for improvement.
