Review Summary for 166 Orchard Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant reviews for 166 Orchard Street in Manhattan, NY, highlight mixed feedback. Positive aspects include the building's central location, high ceilings, and relatively quiet surroundings despite the busy area. However, consistent issues such as package theft, pest problems, outdated infrastructure, and unreliable management are recurring concerns. Residents appreciate the quick response to maintenance requests but suggest improving security measures, upgrading amenities, and enhancing overall building maintenance. While some recommend the building for its location, others caution potential renters about ongoing noise disruptions and maintenance challenges.

There is better for less!
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location relative to east village.
Cons:
The smell of the hallway, there is an awful smell every summer by the mailboxes that is probably a dead rat in the walls as you can hear them scurrying. Also this past year started finding roaches in the apt. No roof access, nowhere to get outside directly near apt and you can hear the music from hair of the dog and Arlene’s even in the back apt. Lots of construction in back buildings in summertime, no sun light in main room only bedroom. My packages have been getting stolen now for 3 years - the cameras are not on or real and everyone buzzed in strangers. Not safest building
