    Review Summary for 40 Rivington Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.

    lots of critters
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    good location good roof
    Cons:
    cockroaches and mice! the neighbors in the building next door sorted cans everyday and their balcony was directly next to our window so i could hear cans being sorted from morning to night. the landlord does his best and is nice but owner is cheap and didn’t fix our buzzer for 6 months+. also packages were stolen 24/7 and the owner barely did anything about it
    Advice to owner:
    get better exterminators

    Be prepared to REALLY compromise
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    -Good pricing (as of 2022)
    -The super is the a kind, hardworking, overall awesome person (Roque)
    -great proximity to a variety of subway and bus lines
    Cons:
    -so many thieves nearby (your packages WILL BE STOLEN)
    -owners will not pay for repairs, even if it’s in the middle of winter and your window is about to fall out of the building frame.
    -the hot water will often not work. Yes also in the middle of winter.
    -it is not clean. Think pigeon sh*t all over the non street facing windows 24/7 and regular roach friends.
    -people on the street will warn you and tell you the building is cursed. Yes this happened to me, and yes I do now believe them.
    -be prepared to really gain some good ol nyc grit living here.
    -the call box will likely not work based on your unit, also leading to even more stolen packages.
    -the building is one of he least secure buildings in LES, to the point where if you ever chat with a cop about where you live and the building you’re in comes up, they will personally warm you about how insecure the building is.
    Advice to owner:
    Fix the g****** stuff wrong with the building. Do the bare minimum to ensure this is a livable place to live.
