Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 70 Kenmare St underline its prime Manhattan location and affordability as strong draws, alongside quiet and friendly neighbors. However, many tenants report frustrations with inconsistent heating, occasional water damage, and lack of closet/storage space. Cleanliness and garbage management receive mixed feedback, with concerns about pests and security issues like package theft. Owner and management responsiveness is frequently cited as slow or unhelpful, contributing to tenant dissatisfaction despite some praise for the attentive super. Noise levels vary, partly due to street activity and nearby businesses. While some recommend the building for its convenience, management improvements are widely suggested.

Not the worst not the best?
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location is great! Good location to the 6 train. Laundry in unit.
Cons:
The heat is insane. It’s hard to get building to reply to any issues. They act like any simple, bare minimum, should be expected ask is HUGE and so demanding. It’s loud. Also above a smoke shop so it smells a lot. Also the unit is so small and so expensive. No storage. Packages get stolen all the time!
Advice to owner:
Listen to tenants needs!
