    Review Summary for 504 East 88 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 504 East 88 Street in Manhattan reveal mixed experiences. Tenants appreciate the quiet neighborhood, proximity to transit, and modern appliances. However, issues include poor garbage management leading to rat problems, slow maintenance responses, and high rent considering the building's condition. Some units suffer from pest issues, drainage problems, and inadequate heating control. Despite these shortcomings, the building maintains good cleanliness and water pressure. Overall, the building's appeal lies in its location and neighborhood charm, but improvements in management responsiveness and pest control are necessary for a better tenant experience.

    Don’t move here
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    - quiet, nice neighborhood, close to train lines
    Cons:
    - had to pay a broker’s fee despite a sign in the front saying it is a no-fee building
    - trash is always piled up in the front and rats are always running around in the front
    - old, walk-up building with lots of pests (no matter how much I cleaned, there were roaches)
    - the water doesn’t drain properly
    - heat is on high in the winter (it gets really hot in the apartment)
    - no laundry in the building (it’s not worth it, especially when all the laundry mats around are so expensive)
    - weird holes in the walls that took forever to be fixed
    - updated kitchens, BUT there is no counter space
    - weirdly shaped triangular bedrooms
    - uneven floors, small bathrooms
    - overpriced for what it is

    Quiet and cute neighborhood but building only ok
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Super close to Carl Schurz, modern appliances and doesn’t feel as old as the building is. Small but lots of storage and in good condition apartment. Rent is decent for area.
    Cons:
    Stinky and definitely rats in the ceiling (no other bugs though) and always a TON of rats outside the front door since garbage is poorly handled. Thin walls like most apartments and super tiny.
