Review Summary for 346 East 52 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Tenant reviews for 346 East 52 Street reveal a mix of positives and significant concerns. Residents appreciate spacious apartments, friendly and hardworking doormen, quiet surroundings, and a convenient location with good neighborhood vibes. However, many highlight serious issues with management, describing owners as unresponsive, greedy, and neglectful, leading to unresolved maintenance problems, heating inconsistencies, pest infestations, and frequent rent hikes. Common complaints include dated facilities, unreliable heating, problematic garbage management, and challenges with aggressive tenants and building security. While some recommend the building for its size and staff, reservations about management and building upkeep suggest prospective renters should weigh these factors carefully.

July & August sublet
Former Tenant
Pros:
Quiet area, has 2 elevators, laundry in basement, close to great bars & restaurants along 2nd ave, deli at top of 52nd is good
Cons:
Doorman staff wasn’t really helpful or engaging, seemed to be inattentive young people rather than experienced staff (rarely even paying attention to who was walking in and out of building; not being much of a barrier between street & tenants) … “in unit a/c” is really more of a fan, heat throughout entire building was BRUTAL (apartment/lobby/common spaces) … atmosphere & accommodations did not align with the “luxury” building it was presented to be on paper
