Review Summary for 79 Delancey Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 79 Delancey Street praise its prime Lower East Side location, spacious units with natural light, and friendly neighbors. The building features convenient amenities like on-site laundry and a rooftop. However, persistent elevator malfunctions, noise from a nightclub and nearby traffic, and dated windows allow in noise and poor insulation. Heating issues and occasional pest problems in common areas have also been noted. While management is sometimes responsive, many renters criticize slow repairs and high utility costs. Rent increases without stabilization add to concerns. Prospective tenants are encouraged to engage with neighbors and advocate collectively.

Decent Value if you can tolerate Incessant Noise Pollution
Former Tenant
Pros:
1. Prime location on the Lower East Side
2. Elevator & on-site laundry
3. Responsive to maintenance requests
4. Good amount of space for the neighborhood
5. Lots of natural light
Cons:
1. Unregulated lease terms allows them to increase rent the maximum legal amount every year (and they ruthlessly do).
2. All day/night Busy intersection horn honking can be heard clearly through the windows AND Nightclub music on the weekends radiates into the unit clearly til late late.
3. Old windows, let cold in the winters and heat in the summer.
4. Poor kitchen ventilation system, so cooking leads to a smoky apartment.
5. Units get bare minimum improvements, probably in need of modernization and updating
Advice to owner:
At minimum, I’d aim to limit tenant turnover instead of pricing them out every year. Also, replace/upgrade all windows to eliminate noise pollution and improve heating/cooling efficiency.
