    Review Summary for 53 Leroy Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenants appreciate the prime location of 53 Leroy Street and the character of the apartments. However, concerns arise regarding the rat presence in the trash area, package theft, and noise from thin walls and neighboring smokers. While the building features upgraded units and considerate neighbors, issues with pre-war heating and management's reputation for tenant mistreatment deter some residents. Suggestions include enhancing security measures and improving communication during crises. Despite its drawbacks, the building's location and updated interior remain appealing to those seeking a vibrant neighborhood with character.

    Great location, less than great neighbours
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great location, edge of West Village.
    Cons:
    - Neighbours are loud, walls are thin. You can hear your neighbours talking in their living room from yours.

    - Weed smell comes through the walls, especially from the bottom, if the floor under you smokes. This happened a lot.

    - The backyard has all the trash bins, but it appears that the rats have eaten holes into the bins. The lids have multiple holes. More than once I’ve faced a big rat in a tiny space relegated to trash, it’s unnerving.
    Advice to owner:
    The apartment should have smoking banned. It’s a very old place and apartments are not airtight, it’s very easy to be bothered by the smell from floor below.
