Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of 323 West 42 Street highlight its unbeatable Midtown location, especially its close proximity to multiple subway lines and Port Authority, making commuting easy. Apartments are considered affordable, with some units renovated and relatively spacious, which appeals to budget-conscious renters. However, the building struggles with cleanliness, persistent pest infestations, and poorly managed garbage disposal, leading to unpleasant odors. Maintenance issues like inconsistent heating and hot water are common, and management responsiveness is frequently criticized as slow or inadequate. The building's age and upkeep reflect a need for renovation and more proactive owner engagement to improve overall tenant satisfaction.

Pros

close to trains

Cons

management isnt great, they removed my closet in my room before we moved in and ddint tell us and then ignored all our emails about it

Former tenant·1 day ago

Good for students

Pros

Location - proximity to ACE and other subway lines and port authority buses is unmatched, there's likely few other apartments in the entirety of Manhattan that are THIS close

Cons

The building could use a remodel, they decide randomly when they want to replace flooring in the lobby of the building it makes no sense and they will do one little portion and leave the rest as it was before, just looks awful. This particularly make it clear that the owner of this building has no interest in making the lives of tenants easier. you move in, this is what you get. the do not respond to requests in a timely manner and residents in the building skew younger and act even younger than they are.
