Review Summary for 5504-301 E 21ST Street Manhattan LLC
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.

Love this Building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Felt very safe living in this building, great management, and they always responded to issues. I miss living here.
Cons:
I lived on the second floor and would get a few cockroaches, the exterminator came twice a month but it's hard to avoid in a prewar building.

Akelius Management is a Joke
Former Tenant
Pros:
Nice building staff, decent quality of renovation for the apartments.
Cons:
Akelius property management (in the office, not at the building) is awful. I lived here for an 18 month lease and didn't have a working oven or microwave for 3 months at the end of my lease. That's over 15% of my lease term without a fully functional kitchen on a $4k+ apartment. I requested a concession but property management continued to put off their response until I determined whether I would be renewing my lease or not. Once I decided I would not be renewing my lease, they informed me that they could not grant me a concession.
Advice to owner:
It seems elementary that you would have to hear these basics from a tenant but it takes very little $ in concessions to keep your tenants satisfied when things go wrong and prevent them writing these types of negative things about your company.
