    Review Summary for 78 Rivington Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews indicate that 78 Rivington Street boasts a prime location with surrounding amenities. Some units receive good sunlight. However, noise pollution, pest issues like roaches, and unreliable hot water are recurrent complaints. The management's responsiveness varies, with concerns about cleanliness, garbage overflow, and maintenance delays. Despite some positives like quiet neighbors and a clean building, issues like loud surroundings and inconsistent hot water impact the overall experience. Suggestions include improving pest control, addressing noise disturbances, and enhancing maintenance practices for a better living environment.

    Good location, budget apartment, got the job done
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Lived here for 2 years. Prime location on the corner of Rivington and Allen, lots of restaurants and shops right below. Apartment got great sunlight
    Cons:
    Very loud street noise came into the apartment. Packages were stolen all the time (like 1 in every 4 of my packages got stolen). Building was average in cleanliness but the trash room could start overflowing by week-end
