    Review Summary for 274 West 19 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews highlight mixed feedback for 274 West 19 Street. Tenants appreciate the prime Chelsea location and amenities like the basement washer/dryer. However, concerns are raised about inconsistent cleanliness, pests, slow responses from the owner, and maintenance delays. Some tenants faced serious issues like infestations, gas leaks, and unresponsive management. The pre-war building's charm is marred by elevator issues and noise problems. While the rent-stabilized status is appealing to some, management's lack of care and communication overshadow the positives. Recommendations include prompt maintenance, improved pest control, and better responsiveness from the management team.

    Decent old building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    nice lobby, good amount of space and sunlight
    Cons:
    elevator breaks all the time, different super every few months, rodents in basement and some units
    Advice to owner:
    clean more often and more pest management - more comms with the residents about who the super is

    AWFUL Management Company
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great location, laundry
    Cons:
    Beach Lane Management employees are rude, condescending, and threatening. I have never dealt with worse human beings. You will not be able to get in touch with anyone from management to file a complaint, as they don’t answer their phones or emails. If you Google any of them, you may find a history of violent pasts, and criminal records. You couldn’t pay me money to live in one of their properties ever again. I experienced several threatening situations with multiple employees. Sad how cruel people can be when you’re paying their paychecks.
    Advice to owner:
    Answer your phones. Hire employees who care about tenants (you know, the people who keep your company in business??????)
