    Review Summary for 50 West 88 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews for 50 West 88 Street highlight a prime location near Central Park and a great neighborhood. However, concerns arise due to unresponsive landlords, old and poorly managed building conditions, and resident dissatisfaction with the landlord's behavior. Suggestions include disclosing construction projects and improving building maintenance. The building lacks stability, leading to residents feeling mentally drained and ultimately departing. Recommendations include selling the building, implementing better management practices, and hiring a competent superintendent to enhance residents' quality of life.

    Difficult landlord, not worth the hassle
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location, close to central park

    Old, lots of construction, unresponsive landlord that will take any last dime out of you
    Advice to owner:
    Disclose massive construction projects to your tenants

    Mentally damaging
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The building had great residents who were all brought together by their shared upsetting situations with the landlord. The location is also great.
    Cons:
    The building was old and uncared for and dirty with an unresponsive landlord. Upon an issue with a pipe bursting multiple residents were left without showers and the blame was put on residents. Personal attacks and harassment ended in multiple residents and good people moving out early.
    Advice to owner:
    Sell the building.
