Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant feedback for 138 Orchard Street reveals a mixed experience centered around its prime Lower East Side location and walkable neighborhood with good access to transit and amenities. However, key issues persist including ongoing bed bug infestations, poor pest control, cleanliness problems, and occasional heating failures. Garbage management and building maintenance receive inconsistent reviews, and some tenants report challenges with management responsiveness and transparency. Noise levels vary, with some dissatisfaction linked to loud neighbors and street activity. While some appreciate the community vibe and value, many caution prospective renters about unresolved pest problems and maintenance shortcomings affecting overall livability.

Bed Bugs In The Walls

Pros

Building is in a great location in LES

Cons

No elevator, packages were getting stolen. But biggest thing is the bedbugs in the wall. I had to move out 6months in to my lease, and the building clearly knew that was the case.

Advice to the owners
