Review Summary for 236 West 16 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 236 West 16 Street highlight its excellent Manhattan location and generally responsive management. Many renters appreciate the building’s cleanliness, effective garbage management, and decent heating and water pressure. However, persistent issues with pests—particularly bed bugs and rodents—have significantly affected tenant satisfaction in some units, notably the first floor. Noise from neighbors and occasional parties also disrupt quiet enjoyment. Package theft and ongoing maintenance challenges, including plumbing leaks and broken laundry facilities, are noted concerns. While the building appeals to young tenants and those valuing location, tenants advise enhanced pest control, better upkeep of shared spaces, and stricter noise and security measures.
