    Review Summary for 118 East 103 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 118 East 103 Street highlight a mix of positives and significant challenges. The building benefits from an excellent location near the 103rd Street subway station and some upgraded appliances. However, tenants commonly report issues with poor maintenance, pest infestations, low water pressure, inconsistent heating, and noise disturbances from neighbors and nearby transit. Cleanliness and garbage management receive mixed feedback, and while some praise management's responsiveness, others find it lacking. Security concerns, such as package theft and stairwell smoking, are noted. Overall, renters suggest comprehensive building repairs and improved management engagement to enhance living conditions.
