    Review Summary for 13 Essex Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 13 Essex Street depict a building with a prime location and some spacious, well-lit units appreciated by renters. Positive notes include responsive superintendents and satisfactory pest control in some cases. However, major issues persist with garbage management, heating reliability, and occasional pest problems. Noise levels vary, and neighbors are seen as generally decent. Management responsiveness is inconsistent; while some find owners timely, others highlight poor communication and unresolved maintenance problems, including boiler failures and package theft. Renters advise improving building upkeep, heating systems, and management accountability to enhance living conditions in this older, somewhat neglected property.

    absolutely no one should live here
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Management was actually pretty responsive. No rats, just mice!
    Cons:
    This building is cursed. We dealt with insane garbage management issues, package theft, mice, cockroaches, heat not working, bad radiators that leaked and made a ton of noise, hot water turning off. Had to end lease early. Keep in mind that your unit may be rent stabilized but rented at market price -- check with the city for rental history documents.
    Advice to owner:
    just knock this building down
