    Review Summary for 218 Thompson St
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Tenants at 218 Thompson St praise the building’s prime location near Washington Square Park and the presence of friendly neighbors. Apartments have some updated amenities and quality floors. However, major issues include poor management responsiveness, inconsistent heating (often absent during winter), and pest infestations involving rodents and cockroaches. Garbage management is frequently criticized for causing vermin problems. Water pressure and overall cleanliness vary but lean toward inadequate. Noise levels are generally moderate, and safety concerns arise from neglected maintenance and unsecured spaces. Rent hikes amid ongoing problems frustrate residents. Prospective renters should weigh the convenient setting against persistent infrastructure and management shortcomings.

    Nasty, Dismissive Landlords and On-Going Building Issues
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Neighbors are nice and it's close to the park, that's about it.
    Cons:
    Google Tran Group NYC and click on the NY Post article. We've had issues with pests, garbage piling up, vagrants coming and going (security concerns), and constant hot water and heat problems. If you're told there is a "super on-site," I've got news for you... There's not! And if you have an emergency situation, they're 1-2hr away at best. Property management are in no hurry to help with anything that is not urgent -- and they seem to relish in insulting tenants and dismissing any concerns they might have.
    Advice to owner:
    Do your job. Stop forcing rent increases on folks that have proven they take good care of their unit and are on-time with payments.
