    Review Summary for 74 Forsyth Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 74 FORSYTH STREET in Manhattan highlight significant issues with cleanliness, pest control, and water pressure. Tenants face persistent challenges with roaches, water outages, and stolen packages. Despite some positive aspects like convenient location and in-unit amenities, the prevalent roach problem overshadows the benefits. The management's responsiveness and maintenance are lacking, causing distress among residents. Improvement in pest control measures, water infrastructure, and communication from management are crucial for enhancing the living experience in this building. Residents express dissatisfaction and caution potential renters about the existing challenges.

    If you love extra roommates (cockroaches), live here!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Good lighting in the halls
    Cons:
    Broken steps, dirty, wreaks of cigarettes, packages are constantly stolen, huge cockroach problem over the summer despite receiving monthly sprays and getting every type of poison and retardant. I have trauma from living here lol

    Living in roach hell
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Good location right next to the B/D stop, washer/dryer in unit plus dishwasher are also a pro. It’s a gut reno so everything inside is pretty nice
    Cons:
    All of the pros are NOT outweighed by the massive roach problem. Despite monthly (if not more frequent) exterminator sprays and a multitude of additional poisons, NOTHING gets rid of these roaches. They are everywhere. We see on average 3-10 DAILY, in all sizes. There are so many babies there must be nests in the wall. Nothing gets rid of them. Save yourself and do not live here.

    Also forgot to mention, packages frequently get stolen with little to no follow up from management.
