Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of 312 East 42 Street reflect a stark contrast in resident experiences. Positives include the building's historic charm, attractive amenities like a gym and garden, good location, and some residents finding neighbors friendly and staff kind. However, serious concerns have been voiced about privacy violations, pest infestations (notably giant waterbugs), poor management responsiveness, rude staff, ongoing disruptive construction, and building upkeep issues such as drafty windows and inconsistent heat. Garbage management and cleanliness ratings vary widely, illustrating inconsistent maintenance standards. These mixed experiences suggest potential renters carefully weigh the building’s aesthetic appeal against reported management and pest control problems.

Former tenant·7 months ago

gorgeous historic building, ruined by giant waterbug infestation

Pros

beautiful historic apts, gym and garden on site, location, views

Cons

Rude super and staff who went inside my apt without my permission for a non-emergency reason and then harassed me about a bundle of sage, acting like they found drugs! I finally moved out after they repaired the pipes for my toilet and I found 6 giant waterbugs in 36 hours afterwards, thats 1 bug every 6 hours! I paid my rent on time and tipped the staff every holiday season, to be treated like that was beyond disgusting.
