Review Summary for 56 Mulberry St
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews at 54 Mulberry Street highlight various aspects. Some appreciate the quick landlord responses, while others cite issues like noisy neighbors, lack of cleanliness, and intense garbage sorting expectations from the super. The building's proximity to amenities and parks is praised, but harassment from the landlord and super, along with pest control problems, have deterred some tenants. Recommendations include improving cleanliness, addressing harassment concerns, and reevaluating tenant interactions. Mixed approval for the owner and building, depending on individual experiences, makes it advisable for potential renters to thoroughly consider these factors before deciding to reside here.

Former Tenant

The newly renovated apartments are nice
The newly renovated apartments are nice
Cons:
Lobby and stairwell are typically somewhat dirty
Super is very intense about how you divide up trash and recycling, to the point of making you get down on the street and sort them out by hand out of bags you’ve already tied

Abuse and harassment from landlord and super
Former Tenant
Pros:
Proximity to local markets, restaurants, public transit
Cons:
Harassment from landlord and super over the course of one year of living there leading to me feeling like I had to leave:
- harassment of guests especially my Black friends who I invited over, judgment towards tenants who invite their friends or family over, landlord harassed my parent as they came to my apartment to pick up some presents and threatened to terminate my lease for having them over
- lack of interest in addressing debris in apartment from construction of nearby unit
super's constant harassment over recycling and trash, including him knocking on my door after midnight to chastise my unit about a recycling mistake we made
- super threatened to kick me out of the building because he didn't recognize me one day even though I had lived there for weeks at that point, even though I presented my lease and ID to him
- Constant issue with pests like roaches, but landlord will not take responsibility for fumigation
- Not possible to sublease apartment or room if leaving town

Advice to owner:
Please review tenant/landlord law and rethink what is appropriate behavior with your tenants. My experience living here was filled with highly inappropriate behavior from you and your staff.
