    Review Summary for 227 East 59 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant feedback for 227 East 59 Street highlights its convenient location and relatively quiet environment as key benefits. However, major concerns include poor building management marked by unresponsiveness and inadequate communication. Residents report persistent pest issues, insufficient maintenance support, and problematic heating systems. Garbage management and cleanliness receive low ratings, and noise disturbance from nearby traffic negatively impacts comfort. Package theft and limited laundry facilities further diminish tenant satisfaction. Overall, renters caution against this building due to management shortcomings, pest problems, and maintenance delays, despite the appealing neighborhood and building renovations.

    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    It is quiet, convenient location.
    Cons:
    Building management is the worst I've ever encountered. They are unresponsive, no emails open to tenants. They also blame us for their poor decisions on apartment appliances etc.
    Advice to owner:
    Sell the building to someone who cares.
