Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 2121 Beekman Place highlight serious issues including pervasive pest infestations (bedbugs, roaches), chronic maintenance failures (broken elevators, water leaks, no heat, damaged structure), and poor cleanliness with frequent garbage and safety concerns. Many tenants report broken security features leading to unauthorized access and general tenant harassment, including illegal activities in common areas. While apartment sizes and proximity to transit and park are appreciated, management is widely criticized as unresponsive and ineffective, worsening living conditions. The tenant community is described as friendly, but the building's neglected upkeep, security risks, and health hazards make it unsuitable for renters seeking a safe, well-maintained home.

Urgent Concerns: 2121 Beekman's Safety and Maintencance
Former Tenant
Pros:
It is rent control. Depending on the apt the rooms are large
Cons:
Multiple locks throughout the building are broken, compromising resident safety. Unwanted guests frequently access the building, particularly on the first and third floors. Reports of men following women into the building, creating a threatening environment. Suspected selling of narcotics and other illicit substances on the first floor. Unauthorized smoking in common areas, especially on the first and third floors. The elevator is old and deteriorating, posing a safety hazard. Staircases show significant signs of corrosion. Walls throughout the building need replastering and repair. Constant water leaks were reported in various apartments. Rodent infestation was reported in multiple areas of the building. Building management has repeatedly failed to address resident complaints. No visible efforts to improve security, maintenance, or sanitation.
Advice to owner:
Immediate security audit and repair of all broken locks. Implementation of a strict visitor policy and potentially hiring security personnel. Thorough investigation into illegal activities, potentially involving local law enforcement. Comprehensive structural assessment by licensed professionals, particularly of the elevator and staircases. Initiation of a building-wide repair and maintenance program to address all structural issues. Establishment of a regular, professional cleaning schedule for all common areas. Development of a pest control strategy to address the rodent problem. Creation of a clear communication channel between residents and management for reporting and addressing issues. Consider involving local housing authorities if management continues to neglect these pressing issues.
