    Review Summary for 65 W 55 St
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant feedback for 65 W 55 St highlights a mix of positive and negative experiences. The building benefits from excellent cleanliness, well-managed garbage services, strong water pressure, and effective pest control. Spacious apartments and a prime Manhattan location are praised, particularly with utilities like AC included. Friendly doormen and superintendents add to the building's appeal. However, some residents struggle with noise issues and difficult neighbors. Management responsiveness is inconsistent, with complaints about poor communication and unresolved tenant conflicts. Smaller kitchens and occasional maintenance concerns were noted. Overall, the building has strong amenities and location, but management and neighbor relations may pose challenges for some renters.

    Horrible building management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Nice building staff
    Cons:
    Absolutely atrocious building management that has done nothing to evict or curb the tenant from apartment 11H who have been a resident since 2018 and evidently either struggles with mental health or god knows what.

    I lived at this location for 1 year, the 1 bedroom apartment was really roomy
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location was great, Apt was incredibly spacious as far as 1bedrooms go for NYC. Utilities were fairly low specially since the cost of AC is covered by the building.
    Cons:
    The kitchen was extremely small and very difficult to work with.
