Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

208 West 23 Street in Manhattan is praised for its prime Chelsea location with convenient subway access and nearby amenities. The building features responsive maintenance, friendly doormen, a rooftop deck, and well-kept common areas. However, tenants note challenges such as occasional pest issues (particularly roaches), small apartment sizes, and noisy heating pipes. Noise levels vary, with some complaints about street noise and thin walls. Rent increases and strict management policies have caused frustration among some renters. While the building has a charming prewar aesthetic and solid staff, the frequent construction, occasional pest presence, and management inconsistencies are areas to consider.

Former tenant·6 months ago

Great staff- super responsive

Pros

Staff is super responsive and always helpful! If you put in a complaint the night of they’re there the next day.

Cons

Roaches. Since it’s a prewar they can be occasionally in the basement. Make sure to cover your sinks at all times because they will come up that too and holes in walls! I’ve seen 3 in my apt in the past year!

Renter Q&A

Is the noise really bad or it's tolerable?

Over 3 years ago

Depends what you mean- from the apartment, you don't hear the noise. However, when you exit the apartment, you're immediately on a busy street, which we didn't like.
