    Review Summary for 39 East 21 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 39 East 21 Street reveal stark contrasts. Tenants praise the building’s modern aesthetic, spacious apartments, rooftop, and great neighbors. It benefits from proximity to parks and good commute options. However, a significant number of renters report poor management responsiveness, persistent pest issues including rats and flies, cleanliness problems in common areas, and unreliable heating. Noise levels vary, with some noting quietness and others disturbance. Maintenance delays and flood damages have caused frustration, and some raise health concerns linked to mold. While some recommend it for community and location, many caution prospective renters due to ongoing building upkeep and management challenges.

    One problem after another
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Modern aesthetic and appliances
    Cons:
    While it may look nice- this place is a hell hole. An entire apartment flooded during a snow storm because a pipe that should have been shut off for winter has burst. Took 5 hours for a plumber to arrive and management was non responsive. The common areas were infested with fruit flies all summer and got into the adjacent apartments. There are rats in the ceilings and walls, and routinely dead ones in the yard. The gym flooded and is a mold haven. Fire alarm in lobby goes off incessantly and in the middle of the night. They are so slow to fix any problem (which there are many) you will wish you never moved here.
    Advice to owner:
    Quit

    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    really amazing neighbors. location.
    Cons:
    Worst management I’ve ever dealt with in the city. Almost everyone I've talked to in the building has leaks. Some people have mentioned mushrooms and mold.
    Advice to owner:
    RESPOND. to anything. There is no disaster that will get management to respond. They will drag everything out to a painful timeline and then do anything other than take responsibility.
