Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of 53 Delancey Street emphasize its prime Lower East Side location with convenient access to subways, grocery stores, and restaurants as a major draw. Positive remarks highlight a friendly and responsive superintendent, quiet neighbors, and well-maintained water pressure and pest control in some units. However, concerns persist about inconsistent heating, poor cleanliness in common areas, noise from traffic and college students, and ongoing issues with building maintenance such as unclean hallways and frequent pest presence. Additionally, multiple tenants report dissatisfaction with the owner’s management practices, including illegal rent hikes and neglecting tenant retention, which has led to distrust and non-recommendation by several renters.

Rent Law Violator

Pros

Location on Lower East Side Proximity to subway, restaurants, grocery, etc.

Cons

Building owner has "warehoused" apartments and illegally raised the rent of rent-stabilized units to remove them from rent stabilization. One tenant says landlord illegally sent inspector into his apartment to take photos

Advice to the owners

Stop breaking the law

Horrible owner, rent scandal

Pros

Lobby has been remodeled and finally a front door buzzer has been installed

Cons

the walls in the hall outside the apartment on each floor need to be refinished and repainted No more lying and sending someone in to photograph the inside of an apartment claiming it’s a routine city-required inspection. Don’t raise the rent of rent stabilized apartment by 280% for a new tenant
