    Review Summary for 353 East 53 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 353 East 53rd Street praise the updated units with non-white walls, minimal noise from neighbors, and strong water pressure. However, tenants express frustration with drafty windows affecting noise levels, delayed security deposit returns, non-functional elevator and laundry facilities, and unresponsive management. Suggestions include window replacements, improved communication for deposit refunds, and training management in customer service. Despite issues, residents value the spacious, well-kept apartments. Some recommend addressing management challenges to enhance overall living experience.

    Great Spot, management awful
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Beautiful units, updated kitchens, and love the floors! Especially love that the walls arent white like most rentals! Also can barely hear neighbors.
    Cons:
    Edit: moved out 2 months ago and there was been 0 contact about my security deposit. Super and I both signed papers saying there was no damage so I should have it now. Will be taking Denise and whoever else to small claims if I don’t hear anything.

    The windows are trash. So drafty and I can hear literally everything outside.
    Advice to owner:
    Please replace windows they suck so bad and give me my money back
