Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 181 Prince Street underscore its excellent, central location and generally quiet environment as major benefits. Tenants commend friendly neighbors and decent water pressure, with some noting pleasant interactions with live-in superintendents. However, persistent issues with pest infestations, including mice and roaches, significantly detract from the living experience. Many criticize poor cleanliness, especially in common areas and garbage management, along with inadequate lighting in stairwells. Maintenance and owner responsiveness receive largely negative feedback, with delays in repairs and unaddressed building upkeep. Rent increases and management unprofessionalism are additional concerns, suggesting the building needs substantial attention to maintenance and tenant communication.

Reviews of 181 Prince Street

Former tenant·10 minutes ago

It’s small and fine, but not horrible

Pros

Somewhat decent price for location, not super loud, small space but decent for price and location - definitely tour in person before signing a lease

Cons

Public spaces can be dirty, recently got new management but old management was not great, seen about 5-7 roaches in the 1.5 years I’ve lived here, had no heat or hot water for first month I was here (but has been fixed and fine since then) - overall it’s fine and a decent price for the location, which is the best part

Advice to the owners

Take better care of the public spaces in the building, actually put money into the building to upkeep it and maintain it
