Review Summary for 164 East 85 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 164 East 85 Street highlight its excellent Manhattan location near parks, stores, and transit as a major benefit. Many tenants appreciate spacious units with high ceilings and good water pressure. The building offers a charming aesthetic, with some praising the parlor room and lofts. However, maintenance and cleanliness are inconsistent; some complain about dirty common areas, pests, and unresponsive management or superintendents. Noise levels vary, partly due to nearby businesses and a fire hall. Safety concerns include package theft and loitering on stoops. While some tenants recommend it for its value and location, others urge management to improve upkeep and communication.

Decent starter apartment
Former Tenant
Pros:
The rent was pretty cheap when I first moved in ($2400 for 2 bed). Also the location is fantastic. Super close to the park, stores, and subway lines.
Cons:
Building wasn’t well maintained. Pests in the hallways. Workers from nearby stores would sit on the stoop and smoke for long periods of time.
Advice to owner:
Keep the hallway cleaner
