Review Summary for 530 East 234 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 530 East 234 Street in Bronx reveal a building with spacious units and a convenient location near public transit. Tenants appreciate the quiet neighborhood and friendly neighbors but consistently report serious maintenance issues including malfunctioning elevators, poor cleanliness, persistent mold and pest problems, and unreliable laundry facilities. Garbage management and water pressure are also frequently criticized. Many renters describe slow or indifferent owner responsiveness and frustrated management. While the rent is considered affordable, numerous calls for comprehensive repairs and improved building upkeep, especially addressing safety hazards and structural damage, suggest management prioritization is needed to enhance livability.

Win some, lose some
Former Tenant
Pros:
• Directly across the street from Metro North and within walking distance of 2. Bus to D and 4. Unlimited parking.
• HUGE space. Large bedroom, living room and full-sized kitchen. Multiple massive closets.
• Quiet neighborhood.
• Irish pub hopping.

• Quiet neighborhood.
• Irish pub hopping.
Cons:
• The mortar between the brick on the outside is disintegrating around certain areas of the building. As a result, water pours through and soaks the ceiling and walls when it rains. Prolific mold and soaked ceiling plaster falling. Management has been trolling us for 2 years about fixing it (they won't).
• Packages get stolen like crazy. No security cameras or doorman.
• Elevators are constantly broken. Usually, one still works, but sometimes both break. At all times, they will both skip/fail to service some floors. Must use stairs to call elevator to next floor above or below. Owner refuses to replace parts to make it normal again.
• Lobby smells like garbage.

Advice to owner:
Perform proper maintenance and stop skimping out on repair costs. This building has great potential and its owners fail it.

Building needs A LOT of work and change in ownership
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location is not bad
Cons:
Dirty, smells, unresponsive super, takes a long time for maintenance tickets to be attended to and completed. Passive aggressive owner. Laundry room always has issues in the sense that two washers and two dryers never work.
Advice to owner:
Sell the building to someone who cares about tenants, cleanliness, and be professional
