Review Summary for 405 E 56 St
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 405 E 56 St reveal a sharply divided tenant experience. Positive feedback highlights a prime Sutton Place location, spacious units, nice renovations, full-time helpful doormen, and generally quiet building ambiance. Many appreciate the amenities, responsive maintenance, and good neighbors. However, major concerns include poor pest control (frequent roach and rodent problems), unreliable management with slow or unresponsive communication, issues with air conditioning and heating control, and occasional rent hikes. Garbage management and cleanliness vary widely. Prospective renters should weigh the excellent staff and location against management challenges and pest issues when considering this building.
