    Review Summary for 206 East 26 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 206 East 26 Street highlight its spacious units, good natural light, and a quiet, well-protected courtyard setting, making it an appealing location in Manhattan. Tenants appreciate the helpful superintendent and generally quiet neighbors. However, management responsiveness is a significant concern, with many renters reporting slow or no replies to maintenance requests, including pest control and heating issues. Pest problems with rodents, roaches, and occasional bedbugs appear recurrent, and garbage management is often criticized. While the building shows strong potential, renters recommend improvements in upkeep, pest control, and management communication for a better living experience.

    Nice building in quiet street with courtyard
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Very quiet despite being extremely close to 3rd Ave, due to having a courtyard for the complex.
    Cons:
    Heat was extremely hot in the winter and hard to adjust. Some bugs near the trash area.

    Good for the price
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The superintendent is very helpful and responsive. The building is very quiet with thick walls. The units are pretty well maintained.
    Cons:
    The laundry room is fine but the machines are often broken and the space floods and is overall not very nice.
