Review Summary for 173 Humboldt Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 173 Humboldt Street highlight its great location, clean apartments, and a strong sense of community. Tenants appreciate responsive management and well-maintained amenities like laundry and rooftop access. However, consistent issues with poor insulation and heat retention lead to high electricity bills and discomfort in winter. Some tenants experienced slow management responses during maintenance emergencies. Noise can be noticeable due to walk-up living and shared facilities like the basement gym, which may have ventilation concerns. Overall, while the building offers many positives and a friendly environment, addressing insulation and responsiveness could enhance tenant satisfaction.
