Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

While some residents praise the cleanliness, lack of pests, and responsive management in certain buildings, others report serious issues, particularly related to heating problems, broken elevators, and poor owner responsiveness.

Loved living here

Pros

Cons

1br rent prices are pretty high

Former tenant·Over 4 years ago

Worst building I've ever lived in

Pros

Looks nice from the outside

Cons

Get used to the stairs because the elevator doesn't work. The electrical system is totally broken. HVAC rarely works, but prepare for $1,000 ConEd bills b/c something is using the power. Owner couldn't be bothered to provide keys upon move-in. Doesn't respond to building issues.
