    Review Summary for 229 Pearl Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 229 Pearl Street highlight the building's cleanliness, friendly and attentive doormen and staff, and well-maintained amenities such as a rooftop and gym. Tenants praise the quiet atmosphere, good neighbors, and convenient location near subway access. However, some renters have concerns about poor garbage management, occasional maintenance issues, and the presence of short-term rental operations (notably Sonder) causing disruptions and tenant dissatisfaction. Other noted drawbacks include dark units lacking windows, small floor plans, and occasional noise from elevators or nearby construction. Responsive management is acknowledged, but some suggest better communication and appliance upgrades to improve renter experience.
