    Review Summary for 280 Mulberry Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 280 Mulberry Street praise its excellent location in Manhattan and attractive pre-war unit aesthetics with exposed brick walls. Long-term residents often share a friendly, respectful community. However, significant concerns include inconsistent heating, frequent water leaks, pest infestations, and poor garbage management leading to odors and rodent issues. Management responsiveness is widely criticized as slow or unhelpful, especially regarding maintenance and security problems like package theft and problematic neighbors. The building suffers from ongoing construction noise and structural challenges. While some tenants appreciate the charm and quiet, many advise improved communication, better upkeep, and enhanced security measures to raise living standards.

    Post Grad Experience
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Everyone I encountered around the apartment was friendly and respectful. The lobby was always clean and well-maintained, and pest control made routine visits every few months for peace of mind. On top of that, the location is absolutely fabulous.
    Cons:
    It’s important to note for current and upcoming tenants that there is significant construction happening. We were not made aware of this prior to moving in, and it creates near-constant noise. In addition, the construction has caused frequent plumbing and water issues, with water, hot water, and plumbing being shut off regularly. Unfortunately, this makes working from home extremely difficult.
    Advice to owner:
    Make sure tenants are aware of construction, manage water issues better.

    Unresponsive and Problematic
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    My roommate and I loved the pre-war aesthetic of our unit! It was super charming and spacious enough that the two of us felt right at home.
    Cons:
    Our ground floor unit flooded three times during our lease and management was unresponsive and not at all helpful when this occurred.
    Advice to owner:
    Be more proactive in assisting tenants!
