    Review Summary for 305 East 40 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenants at 305 East 40 Street praise its cleanliness, well-managed garbage disposal, and attentive doorman and maintenance staff. The building benefits from strong water pressure, minimal pest issues, and a convenient location with good access to public transit and amenities. Noise levels average due to thin walls and occasional disruptive neighbors, with some residents reporting outdated heating and water quality concerns. Owner responsiveness is generally timely, though some feel management could engage more with resident feedback. While the building shows signs of aging, it remains a well-rounded and comfortable option for renters seeking a clean, secure environment with good services.

    Overall Really Great
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    A nice clean doorman building with working elevators and laundry room. The building is overall very clean and the staff is very nice and responsive. I’ve never had any pest issues.
    Cons:
    The walls are thin I can hear my neighbors a lot and I’ve had rude older neighbors complain about my unit for noise and claimed I was “woodworking” which is crazy. The staff didn’t really do anything when the crazy neighbor came to my door at 1am banging and ringing the doorbell when I was asleep. Definitely a downside are the crazy people in this building
