Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 401 West 45 Street, Manhattan reveal a mix of positives and significant concerns. Renters appreciate the apartment layouts, strong water pressure, and central location. The heating system generally works well, and some floors report minimal pest issues. However, many highlight persistent problems such as poor cleanliness, garbage management, and ongoing water damage that is often ignored by management. Pest problems, including mice and roaches, are frequently cited. Security issues with package theft and building access also emerge. While a few tenants find some staff friendly, overall poor responsiveness and maintenance neglect diminish the living experience. Improvements in management and building upkeep are essential.

Constant Water Damage
Former Tenant
Pros:
good apartment layouts, laundry in building, location
Cons:
Water flowing down multiple walls, in the closets, and bathrooms. Bathroom ceiling and walls falling apart. "Raining" water in the bathroom. Issues with mice in the basement. Do not come fix water damage that is reported for multiple months.
Advice to owner:
fix your pipes and roof. When leaks are reported, actually fix them.

Horrible Property Management
Former Tenant
Pros:
Layout of apartment was good
Cons:
Had several water leaks that were never addressed. Water damage never fixed. Neighbors had mice and roach infestations that were unaddressed. Random people camp out in the lobby area of the building. Consistent issues with front door locking properly. Had to make reports to 311 and 911 and issues were still never fixed. Had to get attorney general involved to get security deposit back after moving out. Management ignores calls and emails and we didn't have a phone number for the super.
