    Review Summary for 140 West 69 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    140 West 69 Street offers a well-maintained building with friendly, attentive staff and quiet, respectful neighbors. Residents appreciate convenient amenities like elevators, laundry rooms, and good garbage management. The location is excellent, with easy access to parks, shops, and transportation. However, some face challenges including lengthy co-op approval processes, occasional pest issues, water and heating inconsistencies, and noise from construction or nearby streets. Maintenance responsiveness varies by unit owner, with some tenants reporting communication difficulties and unresolved repairs. Overall, the building's community and service quality stand out, but prospective renters should weigh potential unit-specific drawbacks before committing.

    Great building but beware of individual landlords
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Building was well-maintained, nice laundry room, elevators, trash rooms on every floor
    Cons:
    Co-op building, so application process is very involved and you’re at the whim of the owner of the individual unit

    A good place to call home with quirks
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    - Amazing, caring, personable doormen and staff
    - Super responsive LL and super
    - Amazing neighborhood and convenient location (4 min walk to Trader Joe's, right next to the park and river, etc)
    - Relatively quiet block
    Cons:
    - Neighbors usually quiet, but I had a next door neighbor begin construction with no advance notice. It was very loud and disruptive as I WFH and this went on for months and months. I did not receive compensation or any alternatives, just a "sorry" from the neighbor
    - Occasional roach no matter how clean you are (could be unit-dependent, some of my neighbors report never seeing one)
    - Hot water works about 80% of the time, monthly water shutdowns to maintain the pipes as it is an old prewar building
