Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 430 East 86 Street emphasize the building’s spacious layouts, excellent doorman and porter services, and strong water pressure as significant positives. Residents commend the neighbors and quiet environment, highlighting the long-term value despite its age. However, consistent concerns include poor management responsiveness, neglect of maintenance, and cleanliness issues, including outdated facilities and ineffective pest control. Tenants note that while the building’s staff like doormen and superintendents are praised, the overall management company is often described as unhelpful and impolite. Rent increases and lack of modernization are additional drawbacks to consider.

Lazy staff, does not properly screen visitors, neglected property for years, inadequate heat, upgrades long overdue, laundry room looks like a dungeon, aftermarket electrical supplier, not Con Ed, no advance notice on water line clean out, self service elevators keep breaking down, building neglected, lobby is filthy, rarely mopped. Terrazzo not cleaned in forty years.Staff has gotten away with murder. Not a place to stay. Overpriced. Lazy management. Left tenant 3 days without refrigeration. No one volunteered that spare units were in the basement. House painter, a sub contractor, is allowed to ride passenger elevator all day, not service cab reducing elevator service to tenants.Not a well oiled machine. Greedy Supt. Intercom not operative from Apts. Management stinks. Says no pet policy. More pets than children.vermin. Tenants use public corridors for book storage.
