    Review Summary for 170 West 74 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 170 West 74 Street praise its prime Manhattan location near transit, parks, and amenities, alongside friendly doormen and long-term residents fostering a welcoming community. The building’s cleanliness and organized garbage management receive positive mentions, as do well-maintained laundry facilities and composting options. Noise levels are generally low, though thin walls and occasional external noise can be an issue.

    Great staff. Amazing location!! Neighbors have been awesome as well
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location next to subway, parks, river, restaurants, banks, grocery store.

    Super responds fast when needed
    Doormen are polite and friendly
    Laundry rooom is maintained well
    Garbage mgmt on each floor
    Compost bins in basement

    A lot of ppl have lived in this bldg for a really long time so that speaks for itself. Once you live here, it will be hard to leave
    Cons:
    Issues with water bugs - bldg would be near perfect if this was under more control. Not all units have this problem. Two elevators - sometimes 1x is down but the wait it never too long.

    Overall I would still recommend living here despite the small cons. It’s a beautiful hidden gem
    Advice to owner:
    Thank you

    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)
