    Review Summary for 170 West 74 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 170 West 74 Street emphasize its prime Manhattan location near transit, parks, and amenities, which renters highly value. The building features responsive management and friendly doormen, fostering a pleasant community atmosphere and good neighbor relations. However, some maintenance issues persist, such as occasional elevator outages, pest control concerns, and aging infrastructure in need of upkeep. Noise can be noticeable due to thin walls, especially from nearby events, though not severely disruptive. Rent increases have been noted as a point of concern. Overall, tenants appreciate the building's convenience and staff but recommend improving maintenance and pest management for a better living experience.

    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location next to subway, parks, restaurants, banks, grocery store. Super responds fast when needed
    Cons:
    Issues with water bugs - bldg would be near perfect if this was under control. Two elevators - sometimes 1x is down but the wait it never too long

    Location
    Convenience
    Door people
    Neighbors nice
    Cons:
    Old, not well kept in certain areas of apartment
    No regular cleanings in public spaces
    Elevator breaks often and parts are rare so they said it took weeks to ship
    Advice to owner:
    Don’t keep increasing rent so much (only specific individual owners)
