Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 519 East 12 Street in Manhattan reveal a stark contrast between the building's prime East Village location and ongoing management issues. Tenants praise the quiet environment, friendly neighbors, and well-handled garbage management. However, many express frustration with an unresponsive management team, pest infestations (notably mice and roaches), and maintenance neglect, including heating inconsistencies and unresolved water leaks. Security concerns also arise, with reports of package theft and deceptive surveillance practices. While some appreciate the decent water pressure and cleanliness, the repeated landlord unresponsiveness and unresolved building code violations detract significantly from the living experience. Rent stabilization status remains inconsistent.

Really great building

Pros

I loved living in this building. The garbage was handled very well which I appreciate.

Cons

The heat was always either too much or not on at all which I think could be addressed

Former tenant·Over 4 years ago

Not a great building

Pros

Great neighbors who lived there for many many years and amazing location

Cons

Incompetent super, mice in the whole building, landlord didn’t give me or 2 others their security deposit back for no reason. Went to small claims court.

Advice to the owners

Fix the mice problem, train/get a new super, give deposits back
