    Review Summary for 265 East 66 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Tenant reviews for 265 East 66 Street praise its prime location, attractive building facade, spacious apartments, rooftop pool, gym, and friendly doormen and concierge staff. Water pressure and pest control are generally good, and many appreciate a quiet atmosphere and well-maintained common areas. However, management receives extensive criticism for poor responsiveness, communication failures, and unfulfilled promises such as laundry services. Tenants report frequent elevator breakdowns, heating issues—especially during winter—high mandatory fees, unexpected rent hikes, and difficulties with package handling. Noise and maintenance problems also detract from living comfort. Overall, while staff and amenities stand out, management inefficiencies undermine tenant satisfaction.

    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Nice doormen staff. Excellent water pressure and hot water delivery in shower.
    Cons:
    Poor air-conditioning-between May and October, all blinds on east side of building need to be completely closed or excessive high temperature in unit cannot be managed with poor ac system. Elevator(s) are always broken. Promise to provide free monthly laundry service ($100/month) not kept. Mandatory gym fee no matter how many people live in apartment. Annual rent increases that range from 5-30% depending upon unknown factors. Grossly understaffed package room manpower. Heating system nonfunctional on lower floors for extended period of time requiring the use of space heaters. Rude and loud tenants who cannot even manage to dispose of trash properly in the waste closet located on each floor. Understaffed mailroom.
    Advice to owner:
    Treat your reliable and responsible tenants better. Quit acting like you could care less if tenants stay or move.

    No Heat in Winter
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Sure looks good.
    Cons:
    It's early November and the heat in the entire building stopped working over a week ago. Only last night did management email tenants saying there was no timeline for repair and management would be distributing electric space heaters (!) to tenants - again, with no timeline provided. This is a very expensive building with many young children, and people are freezing in their homes. Stay as far away from this place as you can!
    Advice to owner:
    Heat the building. Communicate with tenants.
