Review Summary for 120 Mac Dougal Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 120 Mac Dougal Street paint a mixed but predominantly critical picture. The building’s prime West Village location and spacious units receive praise, as do some neighbors and quiet back apartments. However, persistent issues with pest control (notably mice, ants, and cockroaches), poor garbage management, and noise from the street are common complaints. Tenants report low cleanliness standards, concerns about mold and lead paint, and weak water pressure in some units. Owner responsiveness and management conduct are widely criticized as slow or negligent, with multiple calls for better communication and timely repairs. While a few tenants appreciate safety and community, many do not recommend renting here.
