    Review Summary for 414 West 44 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews highlight the building's satisfactory cleanliness and garbage management, but issues arise with responsiveness and security measures. Despite some positive aspects like newly renovated units and convenient location, concerns relate to poor natural lighting, noise disturbances, slow owner responsiveness, and security lapses. Residents express annoyance over unreliable access to essential facilities like laundry, while theft incidents and unclean common areas contribute to dissatisfaction. Overall, there seems to be a consensus among renters for necessary improvements in management effectiveness and security measures to enhance the living experience in this building.

    Totally Livable Space
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location is excellent, building has great amenities. Had a totally fine two years living here overall.
    Cons:
    The primary reason we're moving is that we're in a first-floor, street-facing apartment and the building has totally refused to put any proper security bars up. We've never had a real problem, but a month or so ago someone came by trying to shine a flashlight through our blinds(we're all fine, there was no attempted break-in to our apartment[though the building gets broken into on a regular basis! send any valuable packages to your workplace, we've definitely lost stuff]) and we just can't live like that. We also briefly had a mouse problem, but we found its point of entry and blocked it off with steel wool and haven't seen anything since then-- but this solution was totally self-driven, the super only provided glue traps for us. Louie the Super has a wide variance in responsiveness, as you'll see in the other reviews, but he generally comes through eventually and he responds well to a positive attitude and tips.
    Advice to owner:
    Hate to say it but invest in better security for your building!! Security bars on the first floor windows should be a minimum.

    We liked living here
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    - Beautiful building
    - Newly renovated apartment
    Cons:
    - Super locked basement (laundry and trash can access) from 9pm-9am, except for the many times he didn't unlock it until noon
    - Poor natural lighting
    - Downstairs neighbors played loud music all through the night
    Advice to owner:
    Ensure the super opens the basement on time--access to the trash cans is a hygiene issue!
