Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of 261 Broome Street emphasize its prime location in Manhattan and the building's charming pre-war character with helpful elevator access. Tenants enjoy respectful neighbors, generally quiet noise levels, and robust pest control. Water pressure and heating are reliable, contributing to overall comfort. However, consistent concerns arise regarding landlord responsiveness, with several reports of delayed or ignored maintenance requests, including critical issues like broken front doors and plumbing emergencies. Garbage management is mostly effective but occasionally overwhelmed. Rent payment methods are outdated, adding inconvenience. While the building's upkeep is decent, improvements in communication and timely repairs would enhance resident satisfaction.
