Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 443 East 88 Street reveal a mixed picture. The building's prime location, abundant natural light, and friendly neighbors are frequently praised. However, management is widely criticized for poor responsiveness, ongoing pest issues, and inadequate maintenance, especially regarding heating and hot water. Extensive, noisy, and disruptive renovations without proper permits have further distressed tenants. Garbage management and cleanliness are inconsistent, contributing to rodent problems. While some tenants appreciate renovations and quiet surroundings, most advise caution due to unreliable management and unresolved infrastructure problems. Renters seeking a well-managed, pest-free living experience might want to consider other options despite the building’s attractive setting.

Worst management ever

Pros

Lots of windows and natural daylight

Cons

Management is unresponsive and difficult to work with. There is no assigned super so you must contact management for any help, which doesn’t come. Trash piles up in front of the building daily and the building has been cited hundreds of times by sanitation. This has created a problem with rodents. The heating is unpredictable. We went most of the winter in 2024 without heat and several months without hot water. There were four gut renovations that were performed without pulling permits, without protections for residents against the noise and dust, and workers were in the building at night and through the weekends.

Heat was terrible, management was a nightmare, we had rats and they didn’t refund our deposit
