    Review Summary for 154 West 70 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Resident reviews for 154 West 70 Street highlight a mix of appealing and problematic aspects. The building boasts a prime Upper West Side location, well-sized apartments, good amenities like gym and rooftop access, and attentive doormen and staff praised for their service. Common areas and quiet surroundings are appreciated by many tenants. However, persistent issues such as brown hot water, occasional elevator outages, and pest problems detract from the experience. Management and owner responsiveness receive mixed feedback, with some citing slow or dismissive responses and others noting timely fixes. Rent hikes are a frequent concern. Prospective renters should weigh the upscale features against these maintenance and management inconsistencies.

    Brown hot water
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Elevator, good sized apartments
    Cons:
    I had a constant issue with the hot water being completely brown in this building. I lived in two units and both had the same issue. The building would not give me a rent concession while the issue persisted (the issue was never resolved)
