    Review Summary for 516 Amsterdam Ave
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 200 West 85th Street indicate a prime location near subways and parks, with friendly neighbors. However, concerns include slow management responses, limited laundry facilities, and pest issues like cockroaches.

    Perfect location and good space if youre willing to put up with…
    Former Tenant

    Location, safety, spacious, windows, charming brick interior
    Cons:
    My units was very outdated and felt like it was falling apart (mold, dusty/crumbling brick wall, creeky floors, kitchen counter/cabinets were chipping). Toilet clogged/overflowed a few times. Sooo many roaches!!!!! Building management is very hard to reach and not very nice/rude
    Advice to owner:
    Please clean/update this building. Feels really old and not well maintained.
