Review Summary for 243 West End Avenue
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Renters at 243 West End Avenue appreciate its charming prewar architecture, elegant lobby, and attentive doorman and maintenance staff, contributing to a well-maintained and quiet residential environment. The building features dual elevators, a bike room, and laundry facilities, enhancing convenience. However, recurring pest issues, frequent water and hot water outages, and occasional elevator problems have been noted as concerns. While some desire amenities like a gym and pet allowance, management responsiveness is generally seen as adequate though with room for improvement. Overall, the building appeals to those valuing classic details and good service in a peaceful setting, though pest control and infrastructure upgrades could enhance tenant satisfaction.

Mixed bag - Lovely building and nice staff but some underlying issues
Former Tenant
Pros:
Doormen, super, and maintenance staff are terrific. Building is elegant. Beautiful lobby and dual elevators are great. Love the prewar details.
Cons:
Regular bug problems that the building tries to address but problems persist. Very frequent water outages and especially hot water outages (every 2 weeks) for repairs.
Advice to owner:
A deeper hunt for the bug source(s) and eradication thereof is necessary to really get at the problem. Merely spraying in the apartments and common areas is only a topical solution.
