Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of 420 E 61 St emphasize the building’s exceptional cleanliness, well-maintained luxury features, and responsive, attentive staff. Residents appreciate the pet-friendly environment and strong pest control, alongside reliable water pressure and heating. However, multiple tenants note issues with the HVAC system switching to cooling too late in the season, leading to discomfort during warmer months, and the lack of window screens allowing insects inside. Noise levels are also a concern due to traffic and poor soundproofing. While some find the rent justified by the quality, others feel it’s too expensive given these drawbacks. Management responsiveness is generally praised.

Way too Expensive

Pros

Clean, new, luxury

Cons

Traffic, noisy, no sound proof

Former tenant·Over 3 years ago

Expensive luxury building

Pros

Very clean and attentive building staff

Cons

Building has central cooling/heating and tends to switch to the cooling system very late in the year. When paying for an expensive luxury apartment, it’s can be hard to justify the cost when sweating in your sheets for months. They don’t provide screens for the windows and whenever we open the windows, tons of mosquitos and nats get in.

Advice to the owners

Switch the cooling system on earlier in the year. Frequently have to go to bed with ice packs to cool down during late spring / early summer.
