Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for 153 Norfolk Street, Manhattan reveal a building with a prime location and convenient features such as an elevator and in-unit laundry. However, persistent issues overshadow these benefits. Multiple renters report poor management responsiveness, frequent elevator malfunctions, inadequate heating, and severe pest infestations including rodents and roaches. The building faces cleanliness challenges, occasional water shutoffs, and security concerns with package theft and problematic neighbors. Some praise the live-in super’s helpfulness, but overall, dissatisfaction with maintenance and rent hikes is common. Prospective renters should weigh the central location against these significant maintenance, safety, and management shortcomings.
