Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent renters appreciate the prime location and spacious units at 527 EAST 88 STREET. The building is well maintained with laundry facilities and new appliances. However, recurring issues with the boiler in winter and inconsistent hot water and heating have been observed. Residents also face challenges with the responsiveness of the owner and management. Despite these drawbacks, the majority recommend staying due to the quiet neighborhood, responsive super, and good garbage management. Suggestions include addressing boiler problems promptly and improving communication and maintenance practices for a better overall living experience.

Basic needs not met
Former Tenant
Pros:
For the most part, the building is quiet and the basement is not in total disarray. Have not seen or heard vermin in the 2 years of residence.
Cons:
Lack of consistent hot water and heating throughout the year. Unlicensed work done and without permits for bugger repairs. Poorly maintained. The live-in super is not the actual superintendent and does shoddy repairs. The management company is non-cooperative, -communicative.
Advice to owner:
Repair things legally and with the proper permits.
