Review Summary for 136 East 55 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 136 East 55 Street emphasize courteous, helpful doormen and clean, spacious apartments with ample closet space. Many tenants praise the building staff's responsiveness and the safe, central location close to transportation and amenities. However, common concerns include significant rent increases, occasional slow management response, noise issues—especially near elevator shafts and older windows—and some challenging neighbors. The building lacks amenities like a gym or roof access, and some renters report inconsistency in management professionalism. While the overall living experience is positive due to the building's charm and staff, renters advise management to address rent hikes and improve communication and upkeep.

Happy Resident 136 E55th
Former Tenant
Pros:
The doormen and staff are extremely courteous and helpful. It's the best part about living in the building. Common areas are clean and very well-maintained. Building itself is old, but apartments are roomy with tons of closet space that you will not find in newer constructions. Overall, very happy living here.
Cons:
No major issues that I have encountered
Advice to owner:
I hope that rent increases are reasonable when renewing lease
