Building Overview
Building Report
Review Summary for 301 East 91 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 301 East 91st Street highlight major issues with pests (mice, cockroaches), absentee landlord, and maintenance delays. Tenants criticized the lack of responsiveness from the owner, encountering various rodent infestations, and difficulties in dealing with deposit returns. Despite positives like location and architecture, persistent problems with cleanliness, bugs, and noise detract from the overall experience. Suggestions include improved building maintenance and landlord interaction. While the building may suit as a starter apartment, unresolved issues push tenants to seek better-managed alternatives for a more comfortable living environment.

Mouse and cockroach o fested
Former Tenant
Pros:
First apartment didn't know any better
Cons:
In the span of two weeks I trapped 9 different mice. When I told the owner about didn't care, nor helped me with the problem. The super nowhere to be found. A few months later had to fight an infestation of cockroaches. At the end the landlord sent fraudulent checks with my security deposit. Took him to small claims court
Advice to owner:
Care about your building.

Absentee landlord who does the bare minimum
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location is great and the apartments get pretty good sunlight
Cons:
You will never speak to the landlord. They keep themselves completely separated and have David the real estate agent do all of their dirty work. I left the apartment in mint condition (even doing some repairs myself) and they have refused to return my deposit. They are slimy crooks
Advice to owner:
Stop being a scumbag and return deposit to renters when they move out
