Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 57 Herkimer Street highlight a mix of positives and challenges. Residents praise the friendly neighbors, clean common areas, and attentive live-in superintendents who respond well to inquiries. The building offers elevator access and good heating and water pressure. However, concerns persist about the neighborhood’s safety, with reports of suspicious activities and package theft. Noise levels vary, with some noting poor soundproofing. Pest control efforts exist but pests like roaches and mice remain a problem in some units. Management responsiveness is inconsistent, especially regarding maintenance fixes and security improvements, which some tenants urge to prioritize.

Reviews

Nice people live in this building

Pros

Responsive friendly, super. Locked package room

Cons

In a 6 floor building that has a lot of elderly people as residents, the elevator has been broken for 3 months with no obvious effort to fix it. Have been security issues in the past, like package room being broken into, as well as a non-resident in the building soliciting money.
