Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of 201 East 69 Street highlight a well-maintained building with excellent cleanliness, responsive staff, and quiet, friendly neighbors. Tenants appreciate amenities like laundry facilities, a rooftop, and strong security with attentive doormen. The location offers convenient subway access and local conveniences. However, some units feel dated with outdated interiors, small windows on lower floors, and occasional pest issues, including mice and cockroaches, which management has been slow to fully address. Complaints include older heating systems, occasional noise from construction, and management's inflexibility on rent adjustments during hard times. Overall, the building delivers solid value with a good community feel, but some infrastructure updates and enhanced pest control are advised.
