Review summary

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.

Great Location, Steep Price

Pros

-Great location -Pizza place downstairs -Overall responsive and kind person on site (not the overall management company) -Ok clean building for NYC (aside from pests)

Cons

-No smoke/CO2 detector ever installed after multiple requests -After one year they raised our rent $800 -Door doesn’t open all the way when you have a bed inside the room -Group of teens (who do not live in the building) smoke weed/play music in the hallways every night and will steal your food orders -Horrible roach problem

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 the owners
