Review Summary for 153 Allen Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Tenant reviews for 153 Allen Street, Manhattan, consistently praise its prime Lower East Side location, spacious apartments with natural light, elevator access, and quiet neighbors. Many appreciate proximity to transit, dining, and shopping. However, the majority highlight serious management shortcomings including poor responsiveness, malfunctioning intercom and buzzer systems, and inadequate building security leading to frequent package thefts. Heating issues are chronic, with several tenants enduring winters without heat and resorting to personal heaters. Pest problems and cleanliness concerns are recurring, alongside noise and odors from the neighboring restaurant. Rent is often seen as high for the condition, and management's communication and maintenance efforts are widely criticized.
