    Review Summary for 526 East 88 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent renters at 526 East 88 Street commend the building for its spacious apartments, family-friendly environment, and proximity to the park. The units are generally well-maintained with quality renovations, and the superintendent is praised for responsiveness, especially assisting with AC installation. However, some concerns include high rent increases without lease flexibility, occasional pest issues despite regular extermination, and maintenance shortcomings such as creaky floors, malfunctioning buzzers, and lack of security cameras. Heating can be excessive in winter with no in-unit AC. Overall, it is considered a quiet, well-located home but management could improve communication, infrastructure, and security measures to enhance tenant satisfaction.

    Pros:
    Like the place. Spacious, nice location by the park.
    Cons:
    Too hot during winter and you cannot control the heat. No ac unit in the apartment so you need to install yourself. Occasional rodent issues but the building sends exterminators every month.

    A nice quiet home
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Love how family friendly this building is and that the units are larger than average. Super is very responsive & even helped install my AC
    Cons:
    They will jack up the rent as high as possible after 1 year so be ready for it. They don’t offer 2 year leases
    Advice to owner:
    Offer two year leases
