Review Summary for 237 East Realty LLC
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for buildings managed by 237 EAST REALTY LLC reveal a mixed experience primarily characterized by location advantages and notable management shortcomings. Tenants appreciate the prime East Village location and generally decent apartment conditions. However, cleanliness and pest control are significant issues, with frequent reports of rodents and insects, and complaints about insufficient garbage management. Management responsiveness is consistently rated low, with some renters describing interactions as unhelpful or dismissive. Rent increases and security deposit deductions have also been points of contention. While some tenants find the community friendly and the heating and water pressure adequate, overall dissatisfaction with building upkeep and owner responsiveness prevails.

Good location but bad management
Former Tenant
Pros:
Interior is very nice, awesome location of building and generally pest free.
Cons:
Management does not want to help you with your issue. I reported an issue wrong with my apartment and was told that if it bothered me I probably should not renew my lease.

Greedy management but okay building
Former Tenant

Great location and overall good condition apartments
Cons:
- Management is greedy and WILL raise your rent an egregious amount
- When we moved in, they did not hire cleaners at all and it was filthy inside
- They took away some of our security deposit back for not "cleaning" but the apartment was in good condition
- Payment has to be done in person by check

Kind of a slum
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location was nice (prime east village)
Cons:
The apartment had mice and roaches. Garbage attracted more rats. Super was not live-in even though it was advertised he would be. We had a water leak for 9 months out of the 12 that we lived there.
