    Review Summary for 221 East 89 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenants appreciate the ideal location, friendly neighbors, and pet-friendly environment of 221 East 89 Street building. However, concerns arise regarding unresponsive management, recurrent maintenance issues, including a persistent water leak, and pest problems like mice infestations. Renters suggest better communication and prompt action from management, improved garbage management, and fair rent increases. Some tenants also highlighted issues with the heating system and an inaccessible superintendent. Despite the positives, such as cleanliness and safety, there is room for enhancements to ensure a more comfortable living experience for residents.

    Unexpected Waterfall Feature
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The neighborhood and location are great. All of the neighbors are friendly and it’s a very pet-friendly environment. My large dog has fit right in and we loved the first year of living here.
    Cons:
    The lack of a laundry room made things difficult, but I knew what I was getting into with that. Right around the time to renew my lease, a huge leak appeared in the bathroom ceiling. The super came over unannounced to look at it (luckily I was home) and then a plumber came unannounced another day to “fix it”. The super assured me the hole in the ceiling would be patched up “the next day”. It’s been three months and there’s still a garbage bag taped over the hole and water is STILL leaking from it. When I emailed management to voice my concerns I was ghosted. Literally have not heard from management since April and it’s now July.
    Advice to owner:
    If you’re going to have multiple properties, you better make sure someone is paying attention to each of them. If you kept up with some of these issues then they wouldn’t become problems so frequently
