    Review Summary for 350 East 53 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 350 East 53 Street highlight mixed feedback. The building offers decently sized units but struggles with pest control and slow management responses. While the location near subways is convenient, noise levels and heating issues pose challenges. Tenants emphasize the need for better maintenance, improved pest control, and more responsive management. The absence of laundry facilities and noisy surroundings are notable drawbacks. Overall, the building has potential with renovations and attentive management key to enhancing the resident experience.

    Pay for what you get
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Decently sized bedrooms
    Recently renovated kitchen
    Can’t hear neighbors much
    Cons:
    Mouse was seen in the kitchen once as well as a cockroach in the bedroom. Management helped fast though. Apartment gets VERY cold in the winter, electric bill will go through the roof just trying to barely stay warm
    Plumbing issues seemed to keep coming up every few months. Very loud if windows face first ave.
    Advice to owner:
    Listen to your tenants and do some maintenance on the building. It is worth it to invest in the property so you don’t have to deal with annoyed tenants

    do not live here...
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    - The area is nice
    - Walk to Train Station isn't bad, M15 is also literally a block away
    - Apartment itself was pretty big for the price we were paying
    Cons:
    - Package Theft. Literally can no longer order anything online and there are no cameras in the building at all so they won't do anything about it
    - Pests are a huge issue...after our first year here, we are always dealing with something and are very clean people (my roommate and I)
    - Management is very hit or miss. They will be eager to fix problems that are not necessary but when something is important, they will take their sweet time.
    Advice to owner:
    Please listen to your tenants and understand the needs of the building
