    Review Summary for Embassy House
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Tenant reviews for 892 2 Avenue in Manhattan praise the building’s prime location, spacious apartments, and excellent doorman service, contributing to a generally secure and comfortable living environment. Many highlight clean, well-maintained common areas and prompt owner responsiveness in most cases. However, recurring issues include pest problems—especially cockroaches—and occasional maintenance delays or superficial repairs. Noise can be an issue during UN sessions or weekends, and some tenants report management challenges, including poor communication and disputes. Amenities like the gym receive mixed feedback, often for being outdated or costly. Despite some drawbacks, the building remains a popular choice for its convenience and well-kept premises.

    Pros:
    Overall, after 5 years, I’ve loved the building and the area. The doormen are super nice and helpful. Our apartment had a washer and dryer for a somewhat reasonable price for NYC, although we initially got the apartment on a major COVID deal so that could be why. But generally speaking I’ve enjoyed my time living here and common areas were always well kept.
    Cons:
    While the area is great, it’s horrible when the UN is in session. Maintenance was always quick to respond, but we always had so many issues with things breaking or not working properly, and they’d just do bandaid fixes every time. Amenities are fine enough for what they are but cost extra.
    Advice to owner:
    Be better about actually fixing recurring issues

    Long story short...
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Flex room was flexed well.
    Cons:
    Stellar Management treated me like garbage. They put my roommate and my lives at risk with their negligence, refused to pay for emergency room costs, and threatened to sue if we sued. 0/10 management.

    Also, we had mice, Portuguese waterbugs, and carpet beetles in the apartment, and cockroaches in the gym.

    Also, there was no way to turn off the heat in the winter. It was literally 85 degrees every night in my room.
    Advice to owner:
    Be better people
