    Review Summary for 449 W 51 St
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews for 449 West 51 Street show a mixed experience. The building suffers from cleanliness issues, poor pest control, and unresponsive owners, leading to security deposit concerns and rodent problems. However, positive aspects include spacious units, convenient location near the subway, and helpful management. Some tenants face loud neighbors and insufficient storage space. Improvement suggestions include consistent cleanliness, better pest control, and more responsive ownership. Overall, the building's attractiveness is hindered by maintenance and management issues, making it a mixed option for potential renters.

    Experience with 449
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Rent was cheap
    Cons:
    New rodent problem every month
    Over 1 year ago
    Scammers with the security deposit + Rats in trash room
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    None - don't move here
    Cons:
    Beware of Security Deposit Fraud + Rats
    I lived here for two years.

    They keep portions of security deposits from good tenants. They deducted 550 dollars from my security deposit for costs related to re-caulking the bathtub and painting the apartment, which is apartment maintenance, not the tenant's responsibility.
    This is a ploy. They keep portions of security deposits routinely as a tactic to profit

    Some other considerations:
    - Saw rats in the garbage room on the first floor many times. The bottom floor is a restaurant
    - Building manager tried to show our apartment without our consent when we weren't home by having the super use a master key


    The super doesn't speak English and you always have to call him - can never text.
    Advice to owner:
    Stop scamming people and fix your trash room
