    Review Summary for 160 East 88 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 160 East 88 Street highlight its prime Upper East Side location, friendly neighbors, and convenient laundry facilities on every floor as key benefits. The building is generally quiet with good heating and water pressure in some units. However, management frequently receives criticism for poor responsiveness, rude behavior, and slow handling of maintenance issues, including water damage repairs. A recurring pest problem, particularly roach infestations linked to prolonged scaffolding and mold presence, remains a serious concern. While garbage management is well regarded, outdated and unmaintained common areas diminish the living experience. Prospective renters should weigh these factors carefully.

    Do not rent here
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Laundry on every floor
    Location
    Building staff for the most part
    Cons:
    Ongoing roach infestation
    Sewage coming up through dishwasher
    Black mold
    Illegal scaffolding that has been up for 3+ years, which has contributed to the pests (same story for its sister building, 305 E. 86th Street)
    Unmaintained lobby (huge gash in wall behind doorman's station that is taped up w/ cardboard - it's been that way for upwards of 10 years)
    Advice to owner:
    Sell the building to someone who cares!

    Nice apartment but horrible management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The unit I lived in had a really nice kitchen with a window but the window was painted shut. Nice california closets already installed in the apartment. Very friendly neighbors.
    Cons:
    The management was horrible! UES management is super rude. One of my doorman sexually harassed my roommate and because he was union they could not fire him, only suspend him for 3 weeks. The other doorman were great. Super was a bully The neighbor above me left their hose on their terrace on overnight and it flooded my apartment. Had to have my walls and floors ripped up, management was rude, gave me the run around. They painted over the wet plaster 3 times which prolonged the repairs. Did not want to refund me rent when my apt was uninhabitable.
    Advice to owner:
    Get better management
