    Review Summary for 224 West 16 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 224 West 16 Street in Manhattan praise the young and friendly neighbors, convenient location near all subway lines, and well-maintained apartments. However, tenants express dissatisfaction with the unkept common areas, inconsistent hot water in showers, and misleading lease renewal terms leading to significant rent hikes. Suggestions include honoring commitments, improving common spaces, and investing in building upgrades. While some recommend the building for its value and responsive super, others caution against the thin walls and narrow staircase challenges. Overall, a mix of positive and negative feedback highlights the need for consistent maintenance and transparent communication from the management.

    Typical NYC building and landlord
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    - the people in the building are relatively young, and pretty friendly (one guy loves to sing show-tunes during the day)
    - the super and his brother are really kind and available
    - the location is perfect. You’re basically on ALL of the trains
    - the apartments themselves are in good, clean condition
    Cons:
    - the landlord and management company say they’ll have your back, but they don’t. I was told my lease renewal would be based on the advertised price, but when I got the lease there was a Covid “deal” that no one told me about, even though I had asked. Now my rent is going up $600/mo
    - the common space (stairs, hallways, mail area) are not well maintained. There is plaster falling off the walls, tiles missing, and light fixtures that are broken.
    - the water pressure is fine but the showers are old and don’t maintain a consistent temperature and constantly go from hot to cold
    Advice to owner:
    - honor your commitments, even if they are verbal and not in writing
    - invest in building improvements

    Great location and value
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Short walk to Union square, West village, Highline. Amazing value — below market rents and minimal yearly increases. Exposed brick walls in some units. Super was pretty responsive.
    Cons:
    Walk up, tiny bathrooms, the occasional water bug, no good system for package deliveries. No laundry (though laundromat across the street).
    Advice to owner:
    Thank you for charging a fair rent. Could market the larger railroad apartments as 1 bedrooms, upgrade the bathrooms, make the roof more accessible/usable..
