— 55 DELANCEY STREET · Manhattan“Pros: You're in the heart of the LES and also accessible to plenty of subway lines Cons: If you're on the first floor, you're above a pop up store that recently opened.

— 61 DELANCEY STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Large sunny corner unit Equal bedrooms ideal for roommates Cons: We had a pest problem and the management did send the exterminator multiple times. However each time the exterminator came, he pointed out the entry point where they were coming in from. When we asked our landlord to fix this, they referred us to our super who did nothing. Therefore, still have bugs and the exterminator has to come every month or so. Seems crazy that they would rather pay for an exterminator than maybe $20 for some caulk to fix the problem. The heat was just not on for random amounts of time throughout the winter. This actually got so bad that we had to call the city and they sent an inspector out who verified our claim. There were also long periods without hot water.”

— 55 DELANCEY STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Inside units are renovated with updated appliances. At the upper levels, no pests but some gnats in warmer seasons. Cons: This building is in an unsafe area, with homeless people loitering around the block at all times of the year. We frequently open the door to someone sleeping on the steps, often having to ask people to move to get to the door or stepping around people to get out. To make matters worse, the door often doesn't close properly and management does not do anything about it. At one point the front door lock was completely broken and management did not fix it after being notified. Police had to come to the building as a non-tenant was in the stairwell. Also -stairwell in disrepair/carpet coming off -frequent package theft -unresponsive super/owner”
— 61 DELANCEY STREET · Manhattan“Pros: -renovated apartments (though they are tiny and they’ve added walls to 2 bed apartments and are now listing them as 3 beds) -very good subway and public transport access Cons: -carpet coming off of steps is a safety hazard -staircase and hallway area does not feel clean and is not updated -steps and entrance into building are dirty -apartment was not given to us clean. It was really gross and management was unresponsive about this and didn’t offer any help. Had to delay move in because we unexpectedly had to deep clean everything”
