Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of 515 East 12 Street praise its prime East Village location and quiet street setting with charming exposed brick units. Tenants note affordable rents and generally responsive superintendents. However, significant concerns persist about poor garbage management, frequent rat infestations, outdated and malfunctioning appliances, and unreliable heat in some units. Management is criticized for slow or inadequate responses, insufficient building security, and a lax approach to tenant issues, including pest control and noisy or disrespectful neighbors. While the building offers a quiet retreat with sunny apartments, the overall living experience is marred by maintenance neglect and management challenges, warranting caution for prospective renters.

ideal location, okay building

Pros

charming exposed brick apartments on a very quiet, beautiful block. i would choose this apartment again and again just for the location

Cons

rat-infested trash covered courtyard. unresponsive super. all appliances/plumbing in the back building is extremely old and constantly breaking. steep stairs and no laundromat on this block

Quiet, small building

Pros

Affordable, great location, responsive super

Cons

Landlord is in this for a cash grab and raises rent dramatically every renewal while doing nothing to properly upkeep the buildings or respond to tenant issues. Building security is nonexistent, they haven't even bothered to put proper locks on the front door. An exterminator is offered every month because the buildings are infested with mice and there are rats running rampant in the courtyard because the LL can't even be bothered to put in a proper dumpster. Unless you're desperate, find another place.
