Review Summary for 401 West 56 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 401 West 56 Street in Manhattan reveal a mixed tenant experience. The building benefits from a prime location, spacious units, and friendly doormen/security staff, with some praising its cleanliness and well-kept apartments. However, consistent issues with management responsiveness and landlord behavior are frequently mentioned, including unaddressed maintenance problems, rent hikes, and poor handling of security deposits. Noise levels and thin walls disrupt tenant comfort, while pest problems, notably mice and roaches, affect several units. Laundry availability and occasional elevator failures are further drawbacks. Rent stabilization is unclear. Prospective renters should weigh the building’s location and amenities against management and maintenance concerns.
