Review Summary for 2 West 16 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant reviews highlight the building's advantageous central location in Manhattan. However, concerns about poor building maintenance, unresponsive owners, safety issues, such as lack of fire alarms and unsafe stairs, and pest control problems have been consistent among reviewers. Some residents faced challenges with utility services and security, including stolen packages. Recommendations include urgent repairs, increased pest control, and enhanced building upkeep to ensure resident safety and satisfaction.

Good location but terrible building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great location but that’s it.
Cons:
The land lord was very responsive. Given a number to call when moving in that was never answered and voicemails were rarely returned. Never received the security deposit or an explanation for this but this was in early 2020 during shutdown.
Advice to owner:
Use a management company.
