    Review Summary for 328 West 44 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews highlight the building's convenient location near subways, restaurants, and Central Park.

The building management's effectiveness varies, with some tenants experiencing issues with maintenance and rent hikes.

    First time around
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The building is so close to the A/C/E on 8/42 and other trains too. It's close to great restaurants, clubs, bars, Broadway, Central Park, and etc. The location and its accessibility to transit makes it an attractive housing option.
    Cons:
    The water pressure is weak. The building is old. It's next to Time Square. It's loud all the time. Lower-level apartments may not receive direct sunlight.

    avoid TMS management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Good price for the apartment (when I lived there)
    Laundry in building
    Location is close to all the subways, so super accessible
    Cons:
    The management company (TMS) is pretty tough to deal with—you have to really harass them to get basic stuff done. Noise travels through the units. The units themselves are in okay condition, but the building is old and you may be impacted by that (e.g., there was a leak through the walls to the ceiling of our downstairs neighbor and they constantly were trying to fix it through our apartment—after months they finally realized they had to fix the building's pipes, not our shower or toilet or tiling). We had construction going on next door to us while we lived there and dealt with a lot of roaches in that time, unfortunately, but i think that's par the course for construction in nyc, so don't necessarily fault the building
    Advice to owner:
    Be nice when your tenants call you on the phone

    The basics, but not much else
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The location is great
    Cons:
    Thin walls, bare minimum maintenance, will not hesitate to hike your rent up when it comes time to renew your lease
    Advice to owner:
    Don't be so quick to raise rents and flip from tenant to tenant. Have a little compassion for the community

    Well managed, clean building. Noisy neighborhood
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Live in super is great, works really hard to keep the building clean and you can tell. Friendly neighbors. Responsive management.
    Cons:
    Noisy street, lots of street noise and loud trucks particularly at night. Lots of unhoused people living on the street who scream and yell at night. 44th and 8th SW corner entrance to port authority bus terminal station always nasty - human waste, clothes, random pill casings.

    328 w 44 Review
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Live-in super was awesome. He helped us several times on short notice and he kept the building clean. Landlord was responsive and helpful during Covid. Laundry room kept clean. Very close to subway.
    Cons:
    Lot of nuts on the block acting crazy, but this is NYC so that's expected. 9th ave is nice and head east and you';re in time square.
    Advice to owner:
    Install a key fob.
