Review Summary for 66 West 45 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 66 West 45 Street highlight the building’s prime Midtown location and spacious, modern apartments with nice views. Residents value the friendly doorman and some staff but widely criticize overall management as unresponsive, dismissive, and ineffective. Frequent elevator breakdowns, long maintenance delays, and pest infestations significantly detract from living quality. Noise is a consistent issue due to the building’s proximity to Times Square and ongoing construction. While garbage disposal is somewhat organized, cleanliness and building upkeep need improvement. Tenants advise considerable investment in management, maintenance, and facility upgrades to enhance residential experience.

Elevator is always broken and the card system is so stupid
There was a dent on our front door that management failed to fix
Noise level is very high because the building is right by Times Square
