Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 326 West 49 Street reveal significant dissatisfaction among tenants. While heat and water pressure are generally functional, the building struggles with poor cleanliness, inadequate garbage management, and persistent pest issues. Safety and security are major concerns, with reports of criminal activity and package theft. Noise levels are notably high, compounded by problematic neighbors. Management receives frequent criticism for unresponsiveness and negligence, leaving residents frustrated. Despite affordable rents in a prime location, the overall living experience is marred by these ongoing problems, making the building a less desirable option for prospective renters seeking a safe and well-maintained environment.

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

DO NOT MOVE HERE

Pros

NOTHING is good

Cons

DO NOT MOVE HERE. Lived here for 3 years now. The last 6 months the building has gone to hell. There is crime, drugs and the landlords know and turn the other way. Avoid any apartment managed by this management company. Tenants are working with city government on these issues. Its insane.

Advice to the owners

Get your act together.
