    Review Summary for 205 Allen St
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 205 Allen St emphasize its prime, central location and responsive, helpful super and management. Tenants appreciate the spacious pre-war building and generally effective garbage management. However, persistent pest problems, particularly with roaches and occasional rodents, are a notable downside despite ongoing extermination efforts. Noise levels vary significantly by apartment orientation, with some facing busy streets experiencing loud conditions. Heating is generally adequate but can be inconsistent on higher floors. While some tenants praise management responsiveness, others have experienced confrontational interactions and package theft. Overall, renters value the convenient location and attentive maintenance but urge for pest control improvements and better noise mitigation.

    Great location but LOTS of roaches
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Super central and if you are facing the alley it truly is quiet and peaceful. Loved being on the F and all things considered it was spacious.
    Cons:
    Cockroaches like CRAZY crazy. We tried to manage it ourselves and the pest control guy came every 2 weeks for the entire year and we basically had to throw away everything in the kitchen when we moved. The owner claimed the person below us was a hoarder who refused the pesticides so MAYBE that was the issue- but it was truly inhabitable
