Review Summary for 444 West 48 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Tenants at 444 West 48 Street appreciate the building's cleanliness, friendly and quiet neighbors, and proximity to key locations in Manhattan. Heating and water pressure receive positive remarks, though some note occasional overheating in apartments. Concerns include inconsistent elevator performance, noisy garbage management, and outdated security systems like a screeching call box and lack of package protection. Noise from the street and neighboring community center can disrupt peace at times. Several tenants express worries about management responsiveness and recent ownership's alleged use of units as illegal short-term rentals. Improvements suggested involve better security, repaired windows, and more attentive building oversight to enhance resident comfort.

Scamming Owners turning building into illegal hotel
Former Tenant
Pros:
The building is clean and the neighbors are nice and quiet
Cons:
The building was recently sold to an ex porn mogul named ben Zuhey who is running illegal hotels out of the apartments. He is renting everyone out with increases and then turning the apartments into overpriced online rentals.
Advice to owner:
Stop the illegal hotel, this is a residential building!
