    Review Summary for 160 Havemeyer Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 160 Havemeyer Street depict a building with a prime Williamsburg location and a few appealing features like a friendly superintendent and an iconic pizza place downstairs. However, renters consistently highlight significant issues including persistent pest infestations (rats and roaches), poor cleanliness and garbage management, and unstable maintenance resulting in frequent heat and water disruptions. Security concerns are prevalent due to non-resident trespassers and package theft. Noise from street activity and the pizza shop affects comfort, alongside neighboring disruptions. Many tenants express dissatisfaction with owner responsiveness and management practices, advising investment in building upkeep, enhanced security, and better communication to improve living quality.

    Pros:
    Convenient location. Decent rent price for the area.
    Cons:
    Building is not well kept, cannot get in contact with the actual landlord, 4 digit code to enter building instead of key so neighborhood kids hang in the building smoking drinking leaving trash and they do not live in the building, residents leave trash bags in hallway for days, public areas do not get cleaned often enough, shower water pressure is hit or miss
    Advice to owner:
    Take the trespassing situation seriously you have many upset tenants
