Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of 29 Spencer Place emphasize its rent-stabilized status, prime location near multiple subway lines, and attractive rooftop views as major benefits. Tenants value the spacious apartments and close-knit neighborhood feel with friendly neighbors. However, consistent concerns include intermittent pest issues (mice, roaches), plumbing and laundry facility problems, noise from busy nearby streets, and occasional management unresponsiveness. Heating is variable, with some units reported as cold in winter. Maintenance delays and security issues, such as an unsecured front door, also detract from the experience. Overall, it suits renters prioritizing location and price but with tolerance for some infrastructure shortcomings.

Not Great in Any Category

Pros

My water pressure is tea, and my window A/C unit works really well.

Cons

There's water in the basement near the washer and driers. There's noise from people renovating all the time. We had a rat problem for a couple months (which they were fairly responsive about).
