Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
The building at 751 2 Avenue offers spacious apartments, a range of amenities including a gym, pool, and roof deck, and friendly, responsive doorman and maintenance staff. Its location near Grand Central and midtown offices is convenient and safe. However, renters frequently mention persistent elevator issues with long wait times during peak hours, occasional noise from neighbors and street, and some pest problems. Rent increases can be steep with little room for negotiation, and some find management communication during renewals challenging. While generally clean and well-maintained, the building shows signs of aging, especially in common areas and utilities, with calls for infrastructure upgrades.
