Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants at 135 West 70 Street praise its cleanliness, well-maintained common areas, and friendly, hardworking staff including the 24-hour doorman. The building benefits from strong garbage management, quiet noise levels, good water pressure, and community-oriented neighbors. Amenities like a gym and conference room enhance living comfort. However, consistent HVAC issues causing heating discomfort and occasionally restrictive building access dampen the experience. Management and concierge quality receive mixed feedback, with some calls for improved building leadership and management company changes. Despite boardroom conflicts and management frustrations, residents generally recommend the building for its location, upkeep, and supportive staff.

Beautiful Historic Building

Pros

This building is very well maintained and has a community feel. The common spaces are very clean. The staff is super friendly.

Cons

There seems to be a lot of infighting on the board of the building. But if you're a renter this doesn't really affect you.

Would be a great building with better management

Pros

Great location, very few maintenance related issues. 99% of the in-building staff are great.

Cons

I had very few complaints about this building outside of one terrible concierge (truly awful, shouldn’t still work there) and a really bad management company. Unfortunately, those two things made it almost unbearable towards the end of my time there.

Advice to the owners
