    Review Summary for 228 Bleecker Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews of 228 Bleecker Street highlight a troublesome scenario. Tenants report severe issues including pest infestations, safety hazards, maintenance delays, dishonest management, and security concerns. Despite a desirable location and supportive neighbors, the building suffers from mismanagement, safety risks, and unresolved maintenance problems. Recommendations urge the owner to address these critical issues promptly, improve transparency, and prioritize tenant well-being over cost-cutting measures. Prospective renters are advised to steer clear due to the building's numerous challenges and the owner's apparent neglect of essential responsibilities.

    Beware of slumlord and dishonest super
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The location, and the water pressure
    Cons:
    Mice, rats, roaches in all apartment no matter how clean you are. Water leaks everywhere that aren’t getting fixed in kitchen and bathroom so keep buckets ready and don’t travel they need to be changed regularly. You get showered when you sit on the toilet from the upstairs neighbors toilet. Heat only works in one room and in that room it’s a 100 degrees so sleep with ac or open window and freeze in the rest of the apartment. Only one window works others are broken. Water temperature is 190 degrees and fluctuates be prepared to burn when taking a shower. Incredibly loud neighborhood windows vibrate from the noise on the street. Fire escape is not safe. We have had no hot water gas or electricity for months and the landlord won’t do anything to make the situation better. We have had wire fires in the walls so fire department had to come several times. Packages keep getting stolen on the regular. Black mold everywhere which is a major health hazard. Just look up on the entrance and you can see it immediately, it’s worse in the apartments.
    Random giant wooden beams fall of the ceiling in the entryway could have killed someone and nothing is done about it.
    Super is useless and will lie to you any given time.
    Advice to owner:
    Fix the building and stop ripping of your tenants. Be happy with the ones you have it’s cheaper to keep the ones you have then having turnovers left and right and potentially getting sued.
