    Review Summary for 174 Hester Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 174 Hester Street emphasize its prime location at the crossroads of Chinatown and Little Italy, offering exceptional access to diverse food options and a vibrant neighborhood with friendly neighbors. The building benefits from responsive management and adequate heating. However, cleanliness and garbage management are inconsistent, with common issues including pervasive pests like rats and cockroaches, occasional leaky ceilings, and noisy street environments amplified by nearby restaurants and tourist activity. Renters note the lack of amenities such as elevators and express concerns about maintenance delays, particularly regarding pest control and water systems. Overall, location and community stand out, but pest issues and noise may affect comfort.
