    Review Summary for 309 East 37 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenants have expressed mixed feelings about 309 East 37 Street. The location and helpful neighbors are highlighted as pros, while issues with unresponsive management, pest problems, and theft have been recurring complaints. Renters appreciate the affordable rates and safety but struggle with noisy construction, insect infestations, and unaddressed maintenance issues. Suggestions include hiring a better super, improving responsiveness, and tackling pest control more effectively. Overall, the building's potential is overshadowed by management and maintenance inadequacies, leaving room for significant enhancements to elevate the resident experience.

    Horrible super, unresponsive management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Neighbors were kind and communicative, dishwasher was replaced quickly when it wasn't working in the first few months of tenancy.
    Cons:
    It took 2 months to "fix" water damage when my apartment flooded last summer. I've had a mouse issue for months and they've still not resolved it. The super will repeatedly not show up when he claims he will, doesn't communicate sentences , and will not remember anything he was meant to bring to resolve the issues you called him for.
    Advice to owner:
    Hire a better super

    It could be worse
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Rent is affordable for the area
    The location is great, central to everything and feel super safe at all times
    Nice kitchen
    Sunny and good view from windows
    Really amazing and very helpful super
    Feeling of safety in the building
    Nice neighbors
    Apartment looks nice
    Full size tub
    Closet space could be worse
    No rats
    Cons:
    The sounds from the midtown tunnel are no joke, gets really loud sometimes when there’s construction and they do construction late at night so this is not great for those who are sensitive to sound
    Roach infestation most likely - they’re everywhere in the lobby/stairs/staircase walls/neighbors doors
    Management isn’t very responsive, will have to email or call multiple times to get something done
    Pest control is difficult to reach
    Steep stairs
    The hallways just smell bad randomly
    Advice to owner:
    Be more responsive to phone calls and emails when there’s something wrong in the apartment
    Do something about the roach infestation
