    Review Summary for 359 West 51 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 359 West 51 Street commend the building's charming historic elevator and friendly, helpful doormen and elevator operators, who significantly enhance tenant experience. The location is praised, and neighbors are generally friendly and sociable. However, management responsiveness is a consistent concern, with many tenants reporting slow or unhelpful responses to maintenance and rent issues. Heating can be inconsistent, and occasional pest sightings and laundry machine downtime are noted. Despite these drawbacks, renters appreciate the building's cleanliness, well-maintained public areas, and strong community vibe, making it appealing for those seeking a character-rich building with personable staff.
