    Review Summary for 319 East 53 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 319 East 53 Street highlight the building's excellent Midtown location with spacious apartments and convenient transportation options. Tenants appreciate features like elevators, on-site laundry, and generally responsive management. The neighbors and noise levels are mostly favorable. However, some concerns have surfaced regarding pest issues, particularly roaches and mice, which have affected tenant satisfaction despite management efforts. Occasional maintenance challenges, slow elevators, and garbage-related odors were noted as drawbacks. While many tenants recommend the building for its size and location, a few criticize pest control and responsiveness, suggesting improvements in these areas would enhance living conditions.

    Great location, decently managed, large apartments
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    For midtown Manhattan, I get a lot of space. And an elevator. And laundry in building. Have never seen a package get stolen. Management is responsive and the super is helpful. I live right atop the restaurant at this address and that comes with its own noise, but overall, street noises are at minimum (aside from emergency vehicle sirens). The transportation options are amazing, I feel like I can get right where I need to go.
    Cons:
    The laundry room can smell really bad because it’s right next to the trash. The elevator is slow and faulty. My apartment had a minor roach problem ever since the building next door put up the scaffolding and the basement was sprayed for roaches, but after getting sprayed myself I haven’t seen another one.

    Lovely apartment in Midtown
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Well-kept building, super close to bus stops and subways, great neighborhood
    Cons:
    There was a period of bug problems and mice. Building management was responsive, the exterminators they called though were not as responsive
