Review Summary for 175 W 87 St
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent renter feedback for 175 W 87 St highlights its excellent Manhattan location, spacious units, and friendly doorman and maintenance staff as major positives. Many enjoy renovated apartments with good kitchen space and pet-friendliness. However, the building is undergoing prolonged, noisy construction causing poor air quality, dust, and restricted window ventilation. Elevator reliability is a chronic issue, impacting residents daily. Management responsiveness and communication receive consistent criticism; repairs are slow, and tenants feel ignored. Pest control and heating problems are also noted. Security and emergency coverage concerns arise. Overall, the building offers potential but is currently marred by management and construction challenges affecting quality of life.

Constant construction and filthy air
Former Tenant
Pros:
Porters do a very good job so the building is clean and up convenient location.
Cons:
Invisible super, terrible management, no repairs, constant Construction in apartments over, under or next to apartments, unacceptable noise level, filthy air ducts, management light and said we would be connected to the new windows outside but did not follow through, several Neighbors have had $1,000 a month rent increases, no real security concierges change constantly with the exception of one person. No one on duty if there's a problem at night no safety whatsoever. Think twice before moving into this building because your business as a renter is not appreciated. Elevators constantly broken. Building still not composting although it is the law.
Advice to owner:
Pay attention to your property and stop lying to perspective tenants and residents. Fix the windows and make this a healthy building as opposed to a sick building.
