Review Summary for 226 East 81 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant reviews for 226 East 81 Street in Manhattan highlight the building's pros such as location, street-facing windows, and responsive super. However, concerns include pests, poor maintenance (e.g., drafty windows, old tiles held by duct tape), and unresponsive management to issues like pests and mold. Suggestions for improvement include thorough renovations, better pest control, and prompt action on maintenance issues. Despite some positives like friendly staff and cleanliness, the overall sentiment leans towards dissatisfaction due to persistent issues with pests, lack of maintenance, and unaddressed apartment problems.
