    Review Summary for 55 Morton Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Tenants at 53 Morton Street praise its prime location, cleanliness, and quiet neighborhood with well-maintained common areas and good water pressure. The building benefits from elevators and responsive live-in superintendents. However, management and landlord communication receive frequent criticism for unresponsiveness, rudeness, and poor handling of maintenance requests, including heating and plumbing issues. Package theft in the lobby is a recurring concern due to lack of doorman services. Pest problems, particularly moths and mice, have been reported in some units. While neighbors are generally considered decent, occasional conflicts occur. Overall, the building suits those valuing location and quiet but caution renters about management challenges.
