Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 160 West 71 Street highlight its exceptional location near transit and shops, with friendly, responsive staff and well-maintained common areas praised consistently. Residents appreciate the helpful doormen and prompt management response to repairs. However, the building's age contributes to frequent plumbing challenges, including water shutoffs, weak pressure, and intermittent heating inconsistencies. Noise levels vary, particularly for units facing Broadway. Pest control is generally effective, though some past issues were noted. While many tenants recommend the building for its convenience and staff, some express concerns over management responsiveness and rent increases relative to maintenance disruptions.

Great Building Staff!
Former Tenant
Pros:
Everyone who works here is a gem. So nice and welcoming! The location is amazing and the building is pretty clean and well-maintained for its age. No issues with bed bugs or rodents while I’ve been here. Garbage management is excellent. Good laundry facilities and working elevators.
Cons:
It’s super noisy (but that’s what you get with this location!) Heat is inconsistent during the cold months — sometimes it’s so hot you need to open a window, but sometimes it’s FREEZING and the heat isn’t working properly. Very frequent water shut-downs and hot water issues. It’s happened maybe 4-6 times already in the past year I’ve been living here. Water pressure is pretty weak. Neighbors are a bit loud and can sometimes be heard through the walls (but it’s not a constant issue)
Advice to owner:
Please fix the plumbing issues!

Best place I have lived
Former Tenant
Pros:
More than the management, the team working in the building was the absolute best. The concierge and handyman on site always went above and beyond to ensure all tenants had the best experience. They'd often help me with my trash (so not necessary) and come in and fix things in the apartment within the hour.
Cons:
Water was frequently turned off due to old pipes and gas was cut from the apartments for several months.
