Review Summary for 142 West 17 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Tenant reviews for 142 West 17 Street highlight mixed experiences. The building benefits from a prime location, generally clean common areas, and friendly neighbors in a quiet environment. Laundry facilities and decent water pressure are also appreciated. However, many renters report poor management responsiveness, especially regarding maintenance issues like heating and security, with packages frequently stolen and front door repairs delayed. Garbage management and pest control are inconsistent, sometimes problematic. Rent stabilization concerns and overcharging were raised in some stabilized units. Overall, renters value the building’s location and community feel but urge management to address security and maintenance shortcomings for an improved living experience.
