Review Summary for 23 East 109 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Tenant reviews for 23 East 109 Street reveal significant management and maintenance challenges despite its convenient location near Central Park and public transit. Multiple residents report issues with building security, unreliable access systems, and delayed or poor responsiveness from management. Pest infestations, including roaches and bed bugs, are common concerns, alongside maintenance problems like mold, broken fixtures, and trash disposal difficulties. Rent increases have been contentious and poorly communicated. While some appreciate the friendly neighbors and spacious units, persistent infrastructure neglect and management unresponsiveness detract from the overall living experience, making the building a less desirable option for renters seeking reliable upkeep and responsive landlord support.

Failed to provide rent increase
Former Tenant
Pros:
Lived here for three years and for the first two had easy time contacting management. After they switched in the past year, experience has not been as positive.
Cons:
Consistent issues with front door being broken/completely unlocked so anyone could gain access.
It takes management days to respond, leasing even longer.
Leasing did not provide us with our rent increase notice, claim they did, but there is nothing you can do it about it under the tenant protections of NYC unless you plan to stay in the apartment. They broke this protection, did not give us 90 days notice.
No mice but have had roaches/cockroaches. The exterminator comes once a month so if you have any issue, you have to be home on a random weekday to deal with it during business hours, which is not always possible.

Do NOT rent an apartment in this building through June Homes!
Former Tenant
Pros:
The older tenants in the building were kind and friendly
Cons:
I've been locked out several times and unable to access the building using the wireless doorman system bc it was down. If renting an apartment through June Homes, please beware that it will be incredibly difficult to get in touch with the property manager or team members to help you with your issue! They'll take up to 5 business days to get back to you only to give you the runaround and play hot potato with your issues by passing it along through several different managers. Also, the unit I stayed in turned out to be infested with bugs and roaches!! BEWARE!!
Advice to owner:
Multiple units have housing and health code violations throughout the units. The building and units need to be better maintained!!
