    Review Summary for 342 East 8 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews highlight the building's cleanliness, efficient garbage management, and responsive owner as notable strengths. Amenities like the gym, outdoor garden, and location are praised. However, there are consistent complaints about pest issues, slow maintenance responses, and occasional noisy neighbors. Laundry facility concerns, elevator breakdowns, and heating/cooling issues are recurring drawbacks. While some suggest better pest control and prompter repairs, overall, the building's well-maintained common areas, respectful staff, and limited cons make it a favorable choice, especially for those valuing cleanliness and convenience in the East Village area.

    Great 3 years
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Nice staff, outdoor garden, gym and laundry room, Amazon hub, great location and spacious apartments, rent controlled
    Cons:
    Adjacent to a supermarket so there was usually a funky smell in the lobby from the prepared food counter. No roof access. Laundry machines, elevator, gym equipment would break regularly and not get addressed quickly. No full time doorman. Persistent mouse issues

    convenient and decent
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Amazon prime locker is handy.
    Building staff (super, door people, janitorial folks etc) are all exemplary, super friendly wonderful people.
    Cons:
    Lots of rats in the neighborhood and also mice in the building.
    Can be very noisy.
    elevators break down a lot.

    If you are considering moving into this building and relying on the laundry room, don't do it. We are currently sharing 2 barely-functioning washing machines between 70 units and the management company constantly ignore residents and lie to us. It's pretty disgusting considering the price they are charging for rents for new tenants.

    If you dont care about laundry facilities and are comfortable with organizing pick up/drop off laundry that you pay for on top of rent, then its fine.
    Advice to owner:
    Your management company is grossly neglectful.
