    Review Summary for 51 West 86 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 51 WEST 86 STREET highlight the prime location as a major advantage. However, the prolonged presence of scaffolding for over a decade is a significant concern, affecting views from apartments. Tenants express frustration with the transient nature of residents and the lack of a full-time lobby doorman. Suggestions include urgent repairs, improving the lobby, and addressing the scaffolding issue promptly. While some appreciate the building's cleanliness and management of garbage, the overall sentiment leans towards dissatisfaction with the building's current state and a desire for improvement in infrastructure and maintenance.

    Scaffolding for 15 years
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The location is great.
    Cons:
    The apartments are small, the tenants are transient and the worst is the scaffolding which has been up for 15 years. You can google it! The apartment have no view because of the scaffolding and netting. It's awful.
    Advice to owner:
    Hurry up with the repairs, higher a helper for the super, spruce up the lobby.
