Review Summary for 170 Allen Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
170 Allen Street offers a prime Manhattan location with convenient subway access and lively neighborhood vibes. Residents appreciate the friendly community, in-building laundry, and strong water pressure. However, noise levels from nearby bars and street activities, especially on weekends, are frequently cited as a significant disturbance, even for higher-floor apartments. Management responsiveness and communication receive mixed feedback, with some tenants reporting slow or confusing responses to issues. Cleanliness and garbage management vary, and odors in common areas during warmer months have been noted. Overall, while location and amenities are positives, noise and management could be improved for better tenant satisfaction.

Do not live here - management never responds, extremely noisy, unlivable
Former Tenant
Pros:
Took me a while to think of but...
-Rent price is negotiable
-Rent price is negotiable
Cons:
-Management took about 6 weeks to reply to an email (this is not an exaggeration). They do not care if you have an urgent issue. Good luck getting a response.
-The noise is truly unlivable. The windows are so old and let in every bit of noise from the bar across the street (Hair of the Dog) and then cars come at night and blast music on the intersection of Orchard and Stanton. There are typically hundreds of people out there. You can hear everything. Do not live here if you want to sleep again. This is even for apts on higher floors of the building.
-The broker is very confusing on purpose. Don't let it fool you. Ask the questions you need (as many times as you need) to get the information you're looking for.
-I used my heat and AC almost never, but the utility cost was often between $150-250 per month (single person, living in a very small apartment)
-Laundry machines stopped working for 2 months. No communication to tenants about this or any urgency to fix
-Hallways are very smelly

crazy noise all summer long, just the worst, ok place
Former Tenant
Pros:
I liked the laundry in building, no pest problems which was nice living next to a restaurant...
Cons:
Layout of apt was weird and very cavey, laundry machines lowkey robbed me 50% of the time, and the noise from orchard st. was oh my god!! people would park outside, open all their doors, blast music as loud as they could, I would frequently leave my apt in the middle of the night in pajamas to try and beg ppl to go park somewhere else! not to mention music from hair of the dog all day every day all summer, astonishing I made it through a full year here...
Wouldn't ever live here again, but it could've been worse.

Advice to owner:
refund ppl who get robbed by the laundry machine? Also respond to their emails.
