Review Summary for 157 East 57 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Tenant reviews for 157 East 57 Street praise the building’s spacious units, great location, and friendly doormen who contribute to a safe atmosphere. Many appreciate the well-kept common areas and responsive onsite superintendents who handle minor issues promptly. However, consistent concerns include unresponsive or poor management, persistent pest problems like cockroaches and occasional mice, and maintenance issues such as recurring water leaks. Noise levels vary, with some neighbors being considerate while others are reportedly loud. Laundry facilities and garbage management occasionally fall short, and stricter access control to shared spaces has been suggested. Overall, the building offers a comfortable living experience but could benefit from improved management and maintenance.

fine building. bad management. rude super
Former Tenant
Pros:
- elevators
- doormen
- lobby renovations
Cons:
- laundry expensive and there's no way to match up the amount you're forced to load onto your card with the cost of a load of laundry (you're forced to leave money on the table/overload your card)
- lived here for 3 years. the super was difficult to deal with, condescending, and not responsive
