Review Summary for 144 West 4 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 144 West 4 Street highlight its unbeatable Manhattan location near transit, parks, and nightlife as the primary draw. Tenants appreciate spacious floor plans and a generally quiet environment with friendly neighbors. However, chronic issues with pest infestations (notably roaches and rodents), poor garbage management, and inconsistent building cleanliness persist. Security concerns, such as package theft and homeless encampments at the entrance, have been frequently noted. Management responsiveness is reported as highly variable with multiple turnover in management companies, resulting in delayed repairs and tenant dissatisfaction. Though some recent management efforts show promise, many renters find the upkeep and security shortcomings detract significantly from the overall living experience.
