Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 80 Varick Street highlight its prime SoHo location and spacious loft-style apartments with high ceilings, favored by many tenants. Residents enjoy good water pressure and mostly friendly neighbors, though noise levels can be an issue due to building age and ongoing construction. Cleanliness and garbage management receive mixed feedback, with some calling for hallway renovations. Owner responsiveness varies, with both commendations for timely interactions and complaints about slow or problematic management. Concerns over landlord practices and tenant relations have also been reported. Overall, the building appeals to renters seeking large, characterful spaces in a vibrant neighborhood but with some caveats on maintenance and management consistency.

Criminality in real estate
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location is good
Cons:
After having litigated against the rent regulated tenants for decades most of the remaining holdovers have manned the barricades and most of the tenants are now market rate people who keep their mouths shut about anything that does not work because they know that the leases will not be renewed and wind up in court like almost every tenant still here has experienced. The landlord now consists of a family who gossip has it — stole the building from the former owner — but neither the DA nor the police nor HPD lifted a finger to control the criminality involved in the operation of the building.
Advice to owner:
Pray that there’s never an investigation.
