Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 234 West 14 Street, Manhattan, highlight its prime location and the presence of a helpful superintendent as key positives. Some tenants note the building is generally clean with functioning elevators and decent water pressure. However, recurrent issues include poor pest control with frequent roach and rat sightings, inadequate garbage management, and concerns about package theft within the building. Several renters express frustration with unresponsive and inflexible management, slow owner responsiveness, and unpleasant odors in common areas. Noise levels and neighbor relations vary, with some finding it busy and noisy on weekends. Improvements in security and pest control are strongly advised.

Poor roach management
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location is good, super is nice
Cons:
Roaches come back every few months because management refuses to pay for an exterminator more than 1x a month. The building lobby always smells like a dirty port a potty. Tons of stolen packages lately. Some have super low rent (1000-2000 for 1 or 2 bed) while others paying well over 4k for a disgusting, small apartment. Management hardly responds because they are “too busy managing several properties”. Building is gross, don’t live here.
