Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 343 East 5 Street underscore its prime location, spacious rooms, and well-maintained outdoor spaces as major positives. Tenants appreciate helpful supers and a secure environment with generally good neighbors and cleanliness. However, there are recurring complaints about narrow stairs, limited access, and significant management shortcomings.

While some tenants recommend the building for its amenities and location, concerns about maintenance neglect and poor owner responsiveness temper overall satisfaction, suggesting management needs to prioritize tenant care and building upkeep.
