    Review Summary for 8 Rivington Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 8 Rivington Street emphasize its prime Manhattan location and friendly neighbors as valuable aspects. Some tenants appreciate amenities like in-unit laundry, renovated bathrooms, and rooftop access. However, multiple renters report ongoing issues including poor cleanliness, persistent pest (roaches and mice) infestations, and inadequate garbage management. Noise levels vary and can be bothersome for some. A recurring concern is the landlord’s poor responsiveness and perceived management unprofessionalism, including disputes over rent, fees, and maintenance delays. While the building suits younger tenants seeking location and amenities, significant improvements in pest control, communication, and upkeep are needed for a better renting experience.

    Management is horrible
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location is great
    Cons:
    Management will not fix anything that breaks in your apartment, despite it being listed on the list of amenities for the apartment ad. They also find work-arounds to the good cause eviction law to try and kick you out. also there are so many roaches and mice and countless other issues!
    Advice to owner:
    Be better at communicating
