    Review Summary for 627 Amsterdam Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 627 Amsterdam Avenue commend the friendly doorman and staff, spacious apartments with balconies, and a prime Upper West Side location near public transit and shops. Tenants appreciate responsive maintenance for urgent issues and generally quiet neighbors. However, management communication is often difficult, elevator outages are frequent, and pest control has been inconsistent. Heating can be uneven due to centralized controls, and building amenities like fitness rooms and communal outdoor spaces are lacking. While many renters value the overall price and staff kindness, some express frustration with management responsiveness and infrastructure upkeep.

    Good Price for what you get
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Doorman building & everyone who works in the building is really nice. Laundry in building & great price for an apt. On the UWS with a balcony
    Cons:
    The management isn’t great- they are not responsive but we haven’t had to deal with them frequently. The only other issue is that the elevators break frequently
    Advice to owner:
    Update the elevators

    Cons:
    No playroom, Pest issues, Elevator often broken
    Very little maintenance unless big issues in the apartment, Management is impossible to discuss with, Many tenants are rent stabilized (from the tome this building was a housing project) therefore impacting rent increase on other regular tenants,
