    Review Summary for 57 Herkimer Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 57 Herkimer Street reflect a mixed experience. The building is praised for cleanliness, well-managed garbage, strong water pressure, and a friendly, responsive super who lives on-site. Tenants appreciate the elevator access and decent unit size. However, concerns persist regarding slow owner responsiveness, ongoing pest issues like roaches and mice, and safety challenges including package theft and neighborhood crime. Noise levels inside and outside can be high, and management's handling of security and repairs sometimes falls short. While some renters recommend the building for its good upkeep and staff, others caution about safety and maintenance problems in the area.

    Nice people live in this building
    Former Tenant
    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.
