    Review Summary for 261 Broome Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews highlight 261 Broome Street as a prime location with excellent cleanliness and garbage management. The building offers convenient amenities like an elevator and good water pressure, but some residents have faced challenges with unresponsive management. Issues such as stolen packages, noisy weekends, and occasional elevator or door lock problems have been noted. While the proximity to subways is praised, concerns about maintenance delays persist. Overall, tenants value the building's charm and straightforward management but advocate for improved responsiveness and maintenance efficiency to enhance the living experience.

    Great for the area
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Garbage and recycling is always taken care of, has an elevator, can't ever hear neighbors, excellent location
    Cons:
    was difficult to get things fixed or acknowledgement at all from building management, hesitant to fix either front door when they were each broken which led to stolen packages
    Advice to owner:
    read your emails

    Ok spot with great location
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Love the location, but that does come with noise. Has an elevator which comes in handy. No pest issues.
    Cons:
    Landlord not super responsive. Rooms come dirty and will need deep clean. Only one room gets sunlight.

    Good building to live in
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Elevator, proximity to subways, well kept
    Cons:
    Rent is not done through a website. Annoying to have to send a check. This is 2022
    Sometimes packages are stolen
    Loud street noise on weekends
    Advice to owner:
    It’s like Hugh doesn’t know how to use his phone Hugh is the building manager

    Charming old building with charming old problems
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location, simplicity of dealing with management, nothing shady
    Cons:
    Older building, issues with water damage and flooding due to old pipes. A piece of our ceiling fell due to water damage. Front door lock has been broken a few times locking residents out and was finally replaced.
    Advice to owner:
    Stay on top of building maintenance.

    Don’t rent here if you want a landlord who responds to you
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great neighborhood, people in the building are nice, roof access is nice
    Cons:
    The building manager, Hugh, will never answer your calls or emails no matter how serious the emergency. Overflowing toilet flooding your apartment? Power outage in 100 degree weather that con ed says is your building’s fault? Front door of the apartment building broken and homeless people hanging out in the stairwell? He doesn’t care and will not respond. Good luck getting any repairs done ever.
    Advice to owner:
    Your tenants are paying you way too much money for you to treat them so badly
    Over 2 years ago
    Location is great
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location and rent
    Cons:
    Had plumping issues a few times over the weekend, no response from management or super. Had to fix myself
    Advice to owner:
    Ensure issues are being addressed
