Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 234 E 87 St highlight a prime location and spacious apartment layouts as major benefits. Tenants appreciate good water pressure and low pest issues in some units. However, many express concerns about poor cleanliness, inadequate garbage management, and antiquated building upkeep, including long-term dryer outages and peeling paint in common areas. Noise levels and neighbors receive mixed feedback. Several renters criticize slow or insufficient owner responsiveness to maintenance requests such as heating, AC, and water problems. Package security is also lacking. Overall, while location and space appeal, consistent maintenance and management improvements are needed to enhance tenant satisfaction.

Spacious apts, but building is a bit dirty
Former Tenant
Pros:
-Issues like lights being out in the hallways or smoke detectors beeping are addressed immediately. -Super lives in one of the buildings and can come up to check something out immediately. He's usually nice... but see note in "cons."
Cons:
-Dryers were out for probably around a year and there is always at least one washer out of commission. -Cockroaches are an issue. -Garbage management leaves a lot to be desired. And there is no composting. -Super can be a bit passive aggressive.
Advice to owner:
Step it up. Rents continue to increase, but quality of building isn't as buttoned up as it should be. Especially for what we're paying.
