Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 300 West 21 Street reveal a mixed experience. Tenants appreciate the building's location in Chelsea, some spacious old-style apartments, and generally responsive supers. However, safety and security are major concerns, especially around package theft and occasional break-ins. The neighborhood has struggled with disruptive activities linked to a previously problematic deli tenant, now removed, improving conditions somewhat. Maintenance and owner responsiveness receive mixed feedback, with some complaints about slow repairs and cost issues. Noise levels and neighbor quality vary, with reports of loud young tenants and parties. Overall, renters value the building’s location and certain features but advise management to enhance security and upkeep.

Nice apartments, on the worst block in Chelsea

Pros

New apartment Reasonable pricing The supers are quick/great

Cons

- 21st and 8th is a warzone. The deli downstairs has shady personel selling drugs, blasting music, and crazies yelling throughout the night and threatening violence. Police are there regularly and don't do anything, it's unsafe and every so often there's an issue with someone getting in the building. The deli staff is in on it somehow I'm convinced and often see employees trading cash with the rabble-rousers. Seriously this is the building in the photo: https://chelseacommunitynews.com/2024/06/17/officers-often-assigned-to-problematic-corner-transferred-council-member-bottcher-convenes-with-city-agencies-nypd-at-21st-8th/ - Trash room is gross, when the door gets left open by the neighbors there's rats. - Packages stolen frequently, delivery men refuse to use the mailroom despite instructions on packages.

Advice to the owners

Kick out the Deli owner on 1st floor as a tenant, he's clearly facilitating illicit activity in broad daylight EDIT May '26 -- the Deli has been removed from the 1st floor which has cleaned up the corner quite a bit and is a reasonable improvement from when I first wrote this review
