Review Summary for 310 East 55 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 310 East 55 Street praise the building's doorman service, convenient laundry facilities, and generally quiet atmosphere with friendly neighbors. Its location in Manhattan is considered a strong plus, along with spacious, pre-war style rooms offering good sunlight. However, management responsiveness is frequently criticized, with complaints about disorganization and unhelpful owner interactions. Pest control is a significant issue, with multiple reports of rodents and roaches despite tenant requests for improvements. Heating and water pressure can be inconsistent, with some noisy radiators and weak bathroom ventilation noted. Overall, while the building offers good amenities and location, management and pest control need attention to improve tenant experience.
