Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of 198 Rivington Street highlight spacious, renovated apartments with high ceilings and good natural light. Tenants appreciate friendly neighbors and thick walls that help reduce noise, though the area itself has safety concerns and frequent sirens. Common issues include frequent package theft, inconsistent heating, occasional leaks, and intermittent responsiveness from management and superintendents. Garbage management and cleanliness of common areas receive mixed feedback. While some residents commend the management's efforts and appliances, others criticize poor maintenance and security. The building suits young professionals or new graduates but may not appeal to those seeking quiet and fully dependable management.
