Building Overview
Building Report
Review Summary for 8 W 74 St
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant reviews for 10 West 74 Street in Manhattan highlight a prime location next to Central Park. However, issues persist with cleanliness, pest control, and unresponsive management. The building lacks true doormen, faces challenges with repair delays, and has misrepresented units. Residents suggest better maintenance allocation, improved pest control effectiveness, and transparent communication. While the staff is praised for efforts, there are concerns about resource availability. Despite the drawbacks, the building's proximity to Central Park remains a key advantage for some renters, but improvements in management and infrastructure are needed for a better experience.

Wish I checked this website first
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location is great
Cons:
Broker misled us bigtime. “Doorman building”- very nice people but not doormen really, just package handlers. The culture is to let up everyone who walks in and give out your information. They often have headphones in, wish they’d just put a video buzzer like walk-ups, it would be safer. A delivery person actually said to us “this place would be really easy to rob.”
Were told multiple repairs would be fixed by move in, none resolved. Roaches. Mice. Unresponsive owners. Overpriced.
Super is nice but incredibly overworked and without the resources to do anything.

Super is nice but incredibly overworked and without the resources to do anything.
Advice to owner:
Either use the buzzer system or give the front desk a phone system to call up. Stop calling it a luxury doorman building. Give the super help.

Very unresponsive management
Former Tenant
Pros:
The location is nice, as are the staff.
Cons:
When we moved in, our unit was filthy, and it takes weeks/months and many contacts to resolve maintenance issues with the unit. The super seems like he’s trying but is very overworked, so I put the blame on the management company being too cheapskate to hire sufficient maintenance staff. Also, the brokerage they use for renting out units misrepresented the improvements that would be made to the unit prior to move in.
