Review Summary for 338 West 17 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 338 West 17 Street reveal a mixed tenant experience. Positives include a great, central location and friendly neighbors, with some tenants noting improved responsiveness in maintenance. The building lobby is noted as attractive and well-kept. However, significant issues persist such as poor cleanliness, recurring pest problems, malfunctioning laundry facilities, low water pressure, and inadequate heating systems. Security concerns arise from broken entry systems and package thefts. Management is often criticized for slow or unhelpful responses, even in critical situations. Noise from ongoing construction and cheap interior finishes add to tenant discomfort. Overall, prospective renters should weigh the location benefits against management and maintenance challenges.

Would not recommend
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location was great
Cons:
Laundry did not work. Building was dirty, poorly maintained and there were roaches even where I was on the 5th floor. Property manager not helpful or responsive. No heat in one of the rooms in the winter, had to call 311 and the building did not fix or turn up heat.

Nice building with average management experience
Former Tenant
Pros:
The building is most of the time very clean and nice. Tenants in the building are nice and respectful. Submitting maintenance claims has led to faster replies as of late. Historically, maintenance requests would be left open and would not be addressed by management.
Cons:
Laundry is way too expensive in the building and half the machines are non functional/ will ruin your clothes. This has been brought up to management by numerous tenants and they have not done anything about it. Units have been broken into and we've asked for virtual doorman which has not been addressed.
Advice to owner:
Address Maintenance Requests always in a timely manner, lower laundry costs and install virtual doorman please!
