    Review Summary for 245 East 40 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 245 East 40 Street highlight its convenient midtown location, spacious apartments, and extensive amenities including gym, pool, rooftop, and resident lounges. Tenants praise the friendly doormen, responsive maintenance, and overall building cleanliness. However, persistent issues with elevator reliability and wait times are a major drawback, alongside occasional pest control concerns. Rent hikes and lease renewal processes have caused dissatisfaction for some residents. Noise levels vary, with some complaints about street and neighbor noise in certain units. While the building appeals to young professionals, some find it noisy or outdated inside. Overall, it's a well-managed building but elevator upgrades and better tenant communication would enhance satisfaction.
