    Review Summary for 338 West 49 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant feedback for 338 West 49 Street highlights its convenient proximity to the E train as a major benefit. However, renters consistently report poor management responsiveness, unaddressed repair requests, and heating issues. Pest problems, particularly rodents linked to inadequate garbage management, are a frequent complaint, along with concerns about cleanliness and water pressure. Noise levels vary but neighbor relations tend to be positive. Overall, residents express significant dissatisfaction with maintenance and communication from the building’s management, advising improvements in repair responsiveness, pest control, and trash handling to enhance tenant living conditions.
