    Review Summary for 300 East 57 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 300 East 57 Street in Midtown East, Manhattan, showcase a mixed experience. While some tenants praise the cleanliness, responsive staff, and pest control, others criticize the high turnover, overpriced rent increases, and poor maintenance by Rudin Management. The building's prime location near amenities like Whole Foods is appreciated, but issues with noise levels, pests, and upkeep persist. Suggestions include fair rent pricing, improved maintenance standards, and better customer service. Despite positive aspects like caring staff and spacious units, potential renters are advised to research thoroughly before committing due to varying experiences.

    Great spot in Midtown East
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The doorman are really nice and chatty. We only had 1 cockroach in 2 years and they immediately came to spray.
    Cons:
    2nd ave can be loud

    Rudin has a reputation as the worst management company in NYC
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    They presented a nice tour of the building before I signed my lease, but unfortunately, it’s been downhill since then. There are a few doormen that are nice, but they really do not do much for the building outside of occasionally holding the door open. Only other pro is that the building is close to a Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s.
    Cons:
    For starters, the building is wildly over priced. They target people who just moved to NYC and do not understand the market. Once you get settled into your new apartment, you can expect Rudin to offer you a rent increase of 20-30 percent. What drives the increase? I have no idea. They don’t invest in the building. I frequently find roaches in my apartment. Everything is constructed poorly and the handymen use the cheapest/fastest approach to fixes. The super? I’ve never seen him. Trust me - you do not want to be the tourist that gets taken advantage of by Rudin on your first NYC lease. Look elsewhere, leverage StreetEasy, or hire a broker. Even with a broker fee, you’ll save money when compared to the insane approach to rent in this building.
