    Review Summary for 248 Broome Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews highlight the building’s prime location in Manhattan's LES, with access to public transportation and local amenities. Concerns about pest infestations, especially with cockroaches, are a prevalent issue throughout the building, affecting cleanliness and comfort. Inconsistent management responsiveness to maintenance requests and heating problems during winter have been mentioned. However, some residents appreciate the peaceful neighbors and solid water pressure. Overall, the building's potential is hindered by pest control issues and management's lack of prompt action, affecting residents' quality of life. Residents value the central location but desire better building maintenance standards.
