Review Summary for 138 Orchard Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 138 Orchard Street highlight a prime Lower East Side location with friendly neighbors and convenient access to transit, shops, and restaurants. The building offers decent heating and water pressure, and some tenants appreciate the rooftop access. However, pervasive pest issues, especially bed bugs and cockroaches, significantly impact living conditions, with many citing poor and slow management response to maintenance and pest control. Cleanliness and garbage management are inconsistent, and noise levels vary due to street activity and neighbors. While some praise the owner’s responsiveness, others report misleading communication and unresolved building-wide problems, advising management to improve transparency, pest eradication, and maintenance responsiveness.
