Review Summary for Global 151 LLC
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant feedback for GLOBAL 151 LLC's buildings, particularly at 151 Allen Street, highlights a mixed experience. The location is highly praised for convenience and neighborhood amenities. Tenants often note well-sized apartments with good natural light and operational elevators as positives. However, management responsiveness is frequently criticized, with many reporting delays or neglect in addressing crucial issues like heating, maintenance, and security. Pest problems and broken intercom systems are recurring concerns. Package theft and lack of building security add to tenant frustration. While some appreciate the management when responsive, many feel improvement is needed in communication, timely repairs, and overall tenant care.

151 allen st
Former Tenant
Pros:
amazing location - within walking distance to almost everything - close to williamsburg bridge, chinatown, soho, east village - quiet neighbors - elevator in building
Cons:
building is old & management sucks
they don't care because once your patience runs out they'll just find a young/ white /tech or finance bro to replace you. clearly don't rent to ppl in the community or to other chinese or asian/black/brown ppl
tenants have to repeatedly "complain" about serious issues. problems with heat, roaches, mold, leaks, theft etc

Don’t do it.
Former Tenant
Pros:
It’s in the Lower East Side
Cons:
Management never responds.
Landlord doesn’t respond to any leaks or repairs.
Was without heat from Fall-Winter, but management finally fixed it in the spring and would keep it on full volume when it was hot outside.

No Heat All Winter
Former Tenant
Pros:
Perfect location. Amazing natural light. Large living room. Large bedroom. Elevator. Don't really hear your neighbors. High Ceilings. Lots of closet space.
Cons:
No heat. Unresponsive Landlord who can be condescending in his conversations. Management doesn't show concern for safety issues with the building door not slamming shut and locking. Packages constantly stolen. Rent jacked up ~16% even though there was no heat.
Advice to owner:
Better/regular communication with tenants when there are major issues in the building. Care about the safety of your tenants. Do the necessary work on the building and don't argue & gaslight your tenants to avoid proper care.

Great apartment, prime location, shit management, no heat in winter
Former Tenant
Pros:
The location is great, there's an elevator in the building, the apartment is spacey, and a couple of laundry places are under a min walk. The apartment has a lot of natural sunlight, despite being on Allen facing the traffic and madness it's not actually that noisy. You're close distance to a lot of amazing food and multiple subway lines are under 5 minutes walk. Super short walking distance to SOHO, and china town, grocery shopping is very convenient too.
Cons:
The property management is shit. The building intercom does not work, you basically cannot communicate with anyone through the intercom, more often than not the buzzer is broken and you'll have to go open the front gate downstairs for friends or delivery. The front gate is also often broken and anyone can easily open the door, there's no security camera in the building, packages often get stolen. During this past winter they have not been providing city-regulated adequate heat, imo, paying the fine is probably cheaper than replacing the broken boiler. If you email the property management they also does not respond fast. The property management office is also only open on Mon, Wed, Fri so if you have an issue on Tues and Thurs, good luck on that. They have a chinese handyman who barely speaks English and it's not easy to communicate anything with him when he's fixing stuff in the apartment for you. When it rains it leaks. If you're willing to pay $200 electricity bill in the winter blasting your space heater to not die from coldness, it's actually a decent spot. Just expect that your concern will not be addresssed immediately.
Advice to owner:
Get your shit together or we'll see you in court!
