    Review Summary for 181 Prince Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews highlight major issues with cleanliness, pest control, and unresponsive management at 181 Prince Street. Despite its great location, the building suffers from pest infestations, unaddressed maintenance issues, and poor communication from the owner and management. Residents have encountered mice, cockroaches, and even problems like dark stairwells and rude management. Suggestions include urgent attention to cleaning, pest control, and improved responsiveness. While some appreciate the location and amenities, considerable improvements are needed to make it a preferable living space.

    Avoid management company and super at all costs
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Incred location (but dont misunderstand me, it is not worth that management company/super!!)
    Cons:
    We had mice and they did nothing about it, we had to get our own exterminator. The exterminator we did finally bring told us that the building had also stuck flammable wood under the radiator, and we were lucky the building had made it through the winters. We also had a leak on the ceiling over my bed for 9 weeks (2+ months) and the management company wouldn't fix it, rendering a room entirely unusable, and then wouldn't give us more than a few hundred dollars off our 5k rent, when 1/3 of the apt was unusable for 9 weeks (and the "super" verbally abused me and screamed at me every time he saw me). Run run run from this management company and the super. The whole building entrance/hallway was pitch black dark and stank of rancid trash 90% of the time, also.
    Advice to owner:
    Replace the super and actually TAKE CARE of your tenants and answer calls.
