    Review Summary for 236 East 16 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant feedback for 236 East 16 Street highlights significant management and maintenance issues. Renters report poor cleanliness, inadequate garbage management, and persistent pest problems, alongside low responsiveness from the owner. Heating is inconsistent, water pressure varies, and noise levels are often disruptive. While the location near public transit and shopping is a noted benefit, the lack of security, elevator, and building upkeep detract from the living experience. Rent prices are considered high relative to the conditions, with calls for improved repairs, pest control, and better management communication. Overall, renters do not recommend this building in its current state.
