Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of 223 EAST 21 STREET reflect a building with a prime, quiet location and friendly neighbors, valued for safety and functionality. However, multiple tenants note the building is under-maintained, with common areas and units needing repairs, pest issues, and inconsistent heating. Garbage management and cleanliness are often criticized, alongside the absence of on-site laundry. Owner responsiveness is seen as slow or unhelpful by some, despite a few positive experiences. The building is undergoing some renovations, which tenants appreciate, but management improvements in maintenance and pest control are strongly advised to enhance resident satisfaction.

Decent building under construction

Pros

The building is quiet and functional. My unit is pretty nice, despite needing repairs fairly frequently. No laundry on site but some units may have it.

Cons

A lot of upkeep is needed but I’d you put work into your unit it’s a great spot. The common areas were pretty dodgy but they are currently redoing the common areas and slowly updating the units.

Advice to the owners

Thank you for updating the common areas!

Great area but would avoid this building

Pros

No issues with neighbors / pests.

Cons

Overall, the building is not well maintained (e.g., broken / cracked / dirty stairs & hallway, dirty unit upon move-in). Super is difficult to coordinate with if any issues arise. Units are uncomfortably hot in the winter.

Advice to the owners

Make repairs to the units / building, add laundry
