Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 98 Christopher Street in Manhattan highlight its unbeatable West Village location and charming architecture with well-maintained staircases. Tenants appreciate the natural light and quiet noise levels inside apartments, and some note minimal package theft. However, renters report significant issues including poor owner responsiveness, persistent pest problems (mice and bed bugs), noisy surroundings due to the nearby PATH train, and inconsistent heating. Many find apartments small and rent high, with limited closet space and no in-unit laundry. The lack of a live-in superintendent and inflexible management further detract from the experience. Overall, location is a standout, but building maintenance and management need improvement.

Terrible - don’t live here

Pros

Location. That’s about it.

Cons

Terrible plumbing; package thieves; heat and gas went out while I was there - gas was out for months so we couldn’t cook; had a leak from above that was not dealt with so developed mold in my closet - my shelf completely fell down one day; despite the obvious evidence of water damage they told me no leak was present
