Review Summary for 44 West 17 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Tenant reviews for 44 West 17 Street emphasize its unbeatable, central Manhattan location and spacious apartments with classic character and high ceilings. Residents appreciate the neighborhood vibe and access to multiple subway lines. However, several renters report significant issues with landlord responsiveness, communication, and professionalism, describing the management as rude and difficult. Building maintenance concerns include pest problems, varied heating quality, and steep, narrow staircases. Noise levels fluctuate, partly due to street construction. While many recommend the building for its location and apartment size, prospective renters should be prepared for challenges involving landlord interactions and some upkeep limitations.
