Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 525 East 81 Street reveal a mixed tenant experience. Residents appreciate responsive management and friendly neighbors, along with affordable rents and good water pressure. However, cleanliness, pest control, and garbage management are commonly criticized, with frequent reports of bugs and mice. Heating is inconsistent and sometimes excessive, causing discomfort in winter months. Package theft is a recurring issue due to lobby transparency and inadequate security measures. While some acknowledge improvements under new management, others highlight slow or dismissive owner responses. Overall, potential renters should weigh affordability against ongoing maintenance and security concerns.

525 Building

Pros

Great super after 2 that were not very helpful. Solid management who is pretty responsive. Great neighbors as well, everyone is friendly.

Cons

A bit of a pest problem that they are constantly working on, but new super has it more under control. Heating is pretty aggressive in the winter.

Advice to the owners

Need cameras in the package area or a better system when packages arrive. Have had multiple packages stolen over the last couple of years.
