Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of 245 East 40 Street reveal a well-located, amenity-rich building with spacious apartments, doorman service, gym, pool, roof deck, and on-floor laundry. Management and maintenance staff are generally responsive and friendly. However, persistent elevator issues causing long wait times, occasional pest problems (mice and roaches), and expensive, sometimes sharp rent increases are major concerns. Noise levels vary, with some tenants reporting party noise and street disturbances, while others appreciate the quiet. The building feels somewhat dated, with calls for upgrades especially to elevators and common areas. Overall, it suits those seeking midtown convenience and amenities but expect trade-offs in cost and building age.
