Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Tenant reviews for 515 East 82 Street, Manhattan reveal a building in a prime location with spacious, well-laid-out apartments and friendly neighbors. However, renters consistently face issues with poor management responsiveness, broken elevators, pest infestations (including rodents, ants, and flies), and unsanitary conditions in communal areas. Heating and appliances often malfunction, and some report noise disturbances from pipes and neighbors. Security concerns include broken cameras and package theft with little support from management. While the superintendent is noted as helpful, the building suffers from neglect and poor upkeep, making it a less desirable choice despite the attractive neighborhood and apartment layouts.

Management Looks Away as the Building Burns; Spend the extra $300, go elsewhere
Former Tenant
Pros:
- Decent pricing - Great neighborhood - Super, Malcolm, is a saint and fixes issues within a day if told - Easy to access garbage - Washer/dryer is in basement and open for everyone to use - Neighbors are friendly and all see the problems with the building
Cons:
- Management is definition horrible, not addressing everything from flies, security threats, broken stairs, fire hazards, broken elevators, and more - Communication with management can be abusive with Art and Merina both saying things like, "Fuck off, I don't have to do anything." to "You are a nuisance and I owe you nothing." - Elevator has been broken for over a year - Basement where laundry is looks like a dungeon - Broken security systems with cameras not working and people constantly sneaking in - New appliances do not fit the flooring plan and can become a pain to use - Flies, ants, and rats are pretty common and have been addressed - Management is constantly fighting some harassment claim because of their behavior
Advice to owner:
Hire new employees, start being accountable, and treat your tenants properly.
