Review Summary for 203 West 85 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 203 West 85 Street emphasize its excellent location with easy subway access and proximity to shops and restaurants. Many tenants note the nice neighbors and generally decent water pressure. However, common issues include poor cleanliness in hallways and common areas, persistent pest problems, and thin walls causing noise disturbances. Management and owner responsiveness are frequently criticized as slow, unhelpful, and sometimes rude, with repair delays and lack of effective communication. Some mention building maintenance problems like faulty heating, mold, and broken locks. Despite the drawbacks, a few tenants find the rent reasonable and the building livable for NYC standards.
