    Review Summary for 311 East 85 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 311 East 85 Street highlight the building's convenient location near public transit and the availability of an on-site laundry room with reliable machines as key positives. However, tenants frequently mention issues with noise due to thin walls and old structural elements causing vibrations from footsteps, impacting overall quietness. Management responsiveness receives mixed feedback; some find communication challenging with slow email replies, while others report timely responses. Cleanliness and garbage management are generally satisfactory, though one review notes the garbage area is separate from the building. Rent stabilization is not applicable here, indicating potential rent increases. Overall, the building suits those prioritizing convenience but may not satisfy renters sensitive to noise or seeking highly responsive management.

    It’s ok, I guess
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    - Convenient location, short walk to the Q
    - Not much street noise
    - Laundry room with good washers and dryers
    Cons:
    - Walls are thin, so you will hear your neighbor’s conversations and footsteps

    Loud and poorly built. One of the worst buildings I've lived in
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Laundry room has great washer and dryers.
    Cons:
    This building is old and poorly built. You will share very old floor joists with your nextdoor neighbor. This means that footsteps are not only loud, but will also make your floor shake and vibrate. This is really really unpleasant. All this in addition to the noise you will have to endure from your upstairs neighbors.

    Conversation-level noise is not too bad, though.

    Management can be difficult to contact. It is impossible to contact anyone (other than the front desk) by phone. I go to their office just to speak to someone. Best bet is to send an email. Typical email response time is about 2 weeks. Overall, they're not the worst, but they're far from the best.
    Advice to owner:
    Renovate the building and pick up your phones
