Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant reviews for 355 East 72 Street in Manhattan praise the location, spacious apartments, and friendly doormen. However, concerns include poor craftsmanship in apartments, difficult communication with management, and delayed response to tenant needs. Some residents highlight issues like delayed AC activation and noisy surroundings. Recommendations for the building include hiring better contractors, being more responsive to tenant needs, and reconsidering pricing for non-renovated apartments. Despite mixed feedback, the general consensus leans towards recommending the building for its cleanliness, responsive management, and value for money, with minor room for improvement.

Lots of potential but the building is cheap
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location is great, apartments are spacious, doormen are friendly and know each tenant
Cons:
The craftsmanship is horrible... everything in the apartment was very shoddily done (uneven walls, cabinets not adhered properly, sinks and toilets not caulked properly, etc.). Very difficult to contact building management which seems purposeful (who still uses fax machines and doesn't have an email address in 2024?)
Advice to owner:
Hire better contractors

Not too bad
Former Tenant
Pros:
Building staff (with the exception of John)
Cons:
Will under no circumstance turn AC on prior to Memorial Day. Even if it is 90+ degrees, so can be unlivable conditions.
