    Review Summary for 245 West 54 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews highlight major issues in the building such as poor management responsiveness, persistent pest problems (especially mice), water leaks, noisy neighbors, and improper maintenance practices. The proximity to public transportation is a notable advantage. However, tenants express frustration with management blaming residents, lack of proper pest control, and inadequate maintenance responses. Suggestions include better pest control methods like fumigation, addressing structural issues causing leaks, and improving noise insulation. Overall, the building's management and maintenance need significant improvement to enhance the living experience for tenants.

    RENTERS BEWARE
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Proximity to the park and trains
    Cons:
    Management will replace broken things with broken things. Management will blame you for problems with the building even when they are outside of the unit. Management will not listen to you when you report a leak or take the time to fix it. Cracks continuously appear. Pests EVERYWHERE and they call an exterminator that will put down one sticky trap. They will not work with you to give you compensation for your ceiling falling down or for your hot water being shut off for 10+days. They are “never wrong”. The building has had so many constant water leaks and mold showing but they just paint over it and keep moving yet they didn’t do anything about the inside of the walls. Your apartment will probably not be in code and probably has outdated wiring. They are the type of people to pretend that a unit is not rent controlled when it actually isn’t.
