Review Summary for 261 Broome Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 261 Broome Street in Manhattan praise its excellent location, elevator access, well-maintained garbage management, low pest problems, and quiet neighbors. Tenants value amenities like roof access and strong water pressure. However, several note challenges with building management, citing poor responsiveness to maintenance issues, delayed repairs, and security concerns such as broken front doors and package theft. The building, being older, has occasional plumbing and water damage problems that require proactive attention. Noise levels vary due to street location. Overall, renters appreciate the community and location but recommend improved management responsiveness and maintenance to enhance living conditions.

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

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.
