    Review Summary for 228 West 71 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews indicate a well-managed building with cleanliness and garbage management praised. Friendly staff and prime location are highlighted as positives. However, management's unresponsiveness and rent increases are common negatives, along with occasional pest issues. Suggestions include improving responsiveness, pest control, and being less corporate in dealings. Despite some drawbacks like noise levels and maintenance, the building's value and neighborhood appeal stand out. Overall, residents appreciate the amenities and staff but emphasize the need for better management practices to enhance the living experience.
