Review Summary for 157 Lexington Ave
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 157 Lexington Ave highlight a building with clean, spacious units and a convenient location near amenities. Tenants generally find the neighbors good and the environment relatively quiet. However, the predominant issue is extremely poor management—unresponsive, slow maintenance, and inadequate communication severely affect residents' experiences. Problems like persistent leaks, mold, broken appliances, garbage overflow, and heating failures frequently go unresolved for weeks. Despite the building's physical qualities, frustration with the ownership and upkeep dominates renter feedback, leading to an overall negative impression and reluctance to recommend the building as a comfortable, well-managed residence.

DO NOT LIVE HERE - worst management ever
Former Tenant
Pros:
No pros, terrible place to live.
Cons:
Worst management ever. We had no hot water for a week in the middle of winter and had radio silence from management. They would go weeks without responding to our requests, and were rude and incompetent. The walls were also razor thin, AC units would leak, and the elevator would constantly break.
Advice to owner:
Worst management I’ve ever dealt with.

Nice building, horrible management
Former Tenant
Pros:
Small building, units themselves are clean and spacious for the area. Good, convenient location with access to lots of grocery stores, restaurants, bars, and parks.
Cons:
The management is pretty terrible. Unresponsive and doesn't communicate well. People in the building had significant leaks, no heat, etc.
