Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for 18 East 21 Street highlights its spacious apartments, close proximity to Prospect Park, and rent-stabilized units as key benefits. Many appreciate the live-in super and convenient location near transit and amenities. However, common drawbacks include poor overall cleanliness, persistent pest infestations (rats, cockroaches, bedbugs), unreliable heating especially in winter, and inconsistent water issues. Management responsiveness is frequently criticized as slow or unhelpful, with calls for better communication and emergency service. Noise levels and neighbor behavior vary, with some complaints about disturbances. Overall, while affordable and well-located, improvements in maintenance, pest control, and management responsiveness are needed for a better living experience.
