Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 265 East 66 Street reveal a prime location with appealing views, spacious apartments, and courteous doorman and staff receiving consistent praise. However, tenants report severe issues including unreliable heating and air conditioning, frequent elevator breakdowns, and poor management responsiveness. Rent hikes are substantial, and building maintenance suffers from neglect with recurring leaks and pest concerns noted. Noise levels vary, with some mentioning loud street noise. Shared amenities like the gym and laundry face criticism for fees and maintenance. Overall, while the building's location and staff are strengths, management inefficiencies and infrastructural problems heavily impact tenant satisfaction.

DISASTER NOT LUXURY RENTALS

Pros

The views and the location.

Cons

The worst experience ever. Continuous and unpredictable hot water and heat interruptions throughout the winter, rigged thermostat and the heat never goes on until the outside temperature drops below 50F. Very hot in the apartment during the warm season. Basically their temperature control is out of control in the apartments and in the gym. The elevators are DISASTER. The management doesn’t care, they just want to flip this building. The turnover in the building is like revolving doors. The prices go up. The services go down. Do you’re a favour and stay away

Ongoing issues with building

Pros

Great windows and light.

Cons

Can’t do long term lease. Huge rent hikes. Ongoing elevator issues. AC issues. Hot water issues (for some of building—lower floors) personally I have brown water. Make you pay for amenities that are sub-par.
