    Review Summary for 17 Rivington Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 17 Rivington Street highlight its prime location, favorable natural light in many units, and affordable rent, with several units being rent stabilized. However, management is widely criticized for poor responsiveness, incomplete maintenance, and inadequate building security. Tenants frequently report issues with noise, particularly from a loud bar on the ground floor, as well as problems with garbage management, pests, and squatters. The building commonly suffers from unclean common areas and package theft. While neighbors' quality varies, some enjoy good community rapport. Renters advise improved management engagement and better upkeep to enhance living conditions.

    decent building w/awful bar on ground level
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    a lot of units are rent regulated and the location is convenient
    Cons:
    Landlord is completely unresponsive. Likely a lot of illegally deregulated units in the building; beware of signing a lease and check DHCR records if you do. A lot of deferred maintinence was started then left unfinished (drywall, piping, etc). Awful loud bar downstairs, patrons constantly drink on stoop, leave cigarette butts and puke, block tenants from entering/exiting. Patrons also yell/scream at all hours. Crowd control is poor. Bar blasts music at all hours even 6 AM in the morning sometimes; you can hear it on the 2nd floor. Landlord does nothing about them. Also building security is very poor - multiple squatters have taken up residence during my tenancy.
    Advice to owner:
    Stop being an absentee landlord and follow the law. Stop lying about deregulated units or the legal rent.

    good location and light, not great management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    location is great, looks at trees if in a street-facing unit, good light, no rat issues
    Cons:
    management is not the best, there is a stoop that is occasionally occupied by people rolling a joint / passed out druggies, packages get stolen, rent is paid with checks
    Advice to owner:
    be kinder to renters
