    Review Summary for 523 West 49 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Tenant feedback for 523 West 49 Street highlights a generally quiet and friendly community with well-kept apartments and effective pest control. Residents appreciate spacious units and good water pressure but note maintenance can be slow and sometimes subpar, with complaints about minimal repairs and recurring issues like leaks. Garbage collection and cleanliness of common areas, particularly hallways and recycling rooms, require improvement to prevent pest problems. Heating performance varies, with some finding it overly strong. While many recommend the building for its neighbors and unit conditions, management responsiveness and upkeep inconsistencies are areas renters hope to see addressed.

    Good quiet for Hells Kitchen
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Its on a quiet street compared to the rest of HK, neighbors are also quiet and friendly. Overall appliances and apartment itself is in good shape they do extermination often never experienced any bugs
    Cons:
    They do not get back to you quickly for maintenance responses 3-5 days and they never answer the direct line phone number which can be frustrating if you wanted something done asap. The main hallway and stairs can also be cleaner a needs to be more maintained
    Advice to owner:
    Be more attentive to renters especially in maintenance requests also common areas need to be attended and cleaned more often, there are far too many people living in the building to only surface level clean here and there
