Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 140 West 55 Street praise the building's spacious apartments, large kitchens, and a friendly community atmosphere fostered by long-term tenants. The superintendent is commonly recognized as responsive and helpful when contacted directly. The location is convenient with elevator access. However, noise from Midtown traffic and occasional pest issues, particularly in the basement, are noted concerns. Management receives criticism for unresponsiveness and delays in handling repairs and security deposits. Garbage management and maintenance of heating and water systems are generally satisfactory. Prospective renters should weigh the building's benefits against management challenges and street noise.

Reviews

Former tenant·3 weeks ago

Was ok, not my first choice

Pros

-big apartment -large kitchen -lots of tenants living here for years, so there is a bit of a community vibe in the building -super is great and responsive if you contact him directly

Cons

-The street this building is on is quite noisy, with a lot of midtown traffic -leasing company sucks and sometimes repairs are needed to be approved by this leasing company in order for the supers to respond. We had flooding from an upstairs neighbor and they did not fix this for over a month (we had water damage in our bathroom)
