Review Summary for The Westerly
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Residents of 911 8 Avenue praise the building for its spacious units, large windows, and friendly, attentive doormen who foster a welcoming community. The management is generally responsive, with effective maintenance and package handling. The location offers excellent subway access and nearby amenities. However, some issues persist: the heat/AC system follows fixed schedules causing occasional discomfort, a small trash chute inconveniently pushes some to dispose of garbage outside, and pest control effectiveness varies. Noise can be a factor, especially on lower floors facing 8th Avenue or from neighbors and nearby retail activity. Overall, it’s a well-maintained building with a strong sense of community.

i wish the trash chute was bigger so we didn't have to go around to the back of the building to take out the trash. otherwise truly zero issues

Good Building & Friendly Staff
Former Tenant
Pros:
Convenient location. I face the back of the building so it's not as noisy as 8th Ave but I can still hear honking/sirens and garbage trucks. Large windows with sunlight. Good water pressure. Laundry in basement ($3.15 for wash & dry, paid by laundry card or app). 24/7 doormen are friendly and receive packages. Repairs are addressed quickly. Online portal for reserving the elevator, maintenance requests, and building bulletin board. Heat & hot water included in rent. Online portal for rent.
Cons:
Management is somewhat unresponsive. The building controls when to switch from heat to A/C. It's May and my room is reaching 85+ and the building refuses to turn on A/C. No temperature control for the heater so you must turn it on/off manually. Tiny trash chute on each floor and people leave large bags of trash in the trash room which attracts pests. All 3 elevators are slow and one is often used as a service elevator. Building often shuts off water for repairs. Shower drainage is poor and often gets clogged. Moving is only allowed M-F 9-5.
