Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of 206 West 21 Street underscore its excellent Manhattan location and convenient amenities like an in-building washer/dryer and proximity to multiple subway lines and grocery stores. However, persistent issues affect resident satisfaction: poor cleanliness, inadequate garbage management, frequent pest infestations, malfunctioning entry systems, and slow or unresponsive management. Tiny apartment sizes add to discomfort, and there are safety concerns due to unauthorized access in common areas. Noise levels vary, but neighbors are generally viewed positively. The building infrastructure is aging, with ongoing construction and questionable renovation claims, urging management to prioritize maintenance, pest control, and improve tenant communication to enhance living conditions.

Massive scam - don’t get fooled into thinking you’re living inn

Pros

- Location is great - washer/dryer in buildin

Cons

- Management engages in race-based discrimination during renting process (refused to rent to my friend who was non-white on the basis that they did not want to associate with that “kind of people”) - packages frequently get stolen and entry buzzer does not work; on more than one occasion we observed random people in the common spaces who did not live in the building. It is not safe! - common areas (stairwells, laundry room, entry way) are dirty and unkempt, broken windows and cockroaches - studios are TINY. they will barely fit a full bed, have a mini fridge, and all StreetEasy renderings will have CGI furniture that does not fit in person - BEWARE the “renovation.” Management increased rent of apartments over $1000 by claiming they were newly renovated - in reality there are little no changes and this reflects managements complete disregard for tenants
