Review Summary for 249 West 21 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 249 West 21 Street highlight its prime Manhattan location, quiet neighborhoods, and well-managed garbage services as key benefits. Tenants appreciate amenities like laundry facilities and roof access with good water pressure. However, concerns include unclean apartments at move-in, persistent pest issues, and aging infrastructure leading to frequent minor repairs. Noise levels vary, especially on lower floors. While some find landlords responsive and reasonable with rent, others note steep rent hikes and poor owner communication, especially regarding maintenance and apartment upkeep. Overall, the building suits young renters valuing location, though management improvements, pest control, and apartment condition need attention.
