Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of 215 East 117 Street, Manhattan, present a mixed picture. Tenants appreciate the dedicated super and good water pressure, with some noting effective pest control when apartments are kept clean. However, several renters criticize the building management for slow or no response to maintenance and pest issues, as well as poor garbage handling. Noise levels and neighbor relations receive varied feedback, with some complaints about disturbances, especially in summer. Heating is generally satisfactory, though occasional leaks have been reported. Overall, while some tenants find value and recommend the building, persistent concerns about management responsiveness, pests, and security remain significant issues to consider.

Harlem building that super saves you

Pros

I really loved living here for 3 years, but if it wasnt for the super Hector it wouldn't have been worth it, they changed management but they still take a while to reply and solve paid things. Really good pest control, if you keep the apartment clean you wont have issues.

Cons

One of the winter we had a leak from the upstairs neighbors leaving the water on, but they have left i believe. Loud neighborhood specially during summer time. You will get pests if you dont keep the apt clean!

Advice to the owners

Take better care of Hector, Fix appliances once they break specially if its a paying renter that never missed rent for years!
