    Review Summary for 23 West 56 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenants highlight 23 WEST 56 STREET's prime location in Manhattan and attentive building management. Residents appreciate convenient amenities like washer/dryer and fair electricity prices. However, the building's age shows with issues like crooked floors and pest problems. Some suggest improvements in pest control and building upkeep. Although some tenants raise concerns about noise and maintenance, most approve of the owner's responsiveness. Rent stabilization varies. Overall, while the building has its drawbacks, its practicality in a busy area and caring management make it a viable option for those seeking a central location with responsive staff.

    The building is old and it shows but the management is great
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Fair rent, washer, and dryer in the building, building manager and super are very nice and quick to help with every need, fixed fair price for electricity
    Cons:
    the building is super old and it shows the stairs are crooked, and the floor is crooked too. cockroaches are a thing, shower drain is not the best. not allowed on the roof.
    Advice to owner:
    more pest repellant, and change carpet on stairs. Other than that all the other problems can be realistically solved.

    It is OK
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    It’s above a deli.
    Tough to find space in Manhattan, this is a space.
    No one really bothers us
    Cons:
    Washer and dryer not included - it’s been broken for years and landlord has not fixed.
    Many cracks in the walls where the bugs crawl into once we turn the lights on.
    Windows are broken so I just stuff blankets to cover up the spaces during the winter. I’d recommend a personal heater.
    Strong fishy smell from the restaurant below sticks around during the summer, you get used to it.
