    Review Summary for 21 West 131 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenants at 21 WEST 131 STREET, Manhattan, appreciate the quiet and friendly neighbors. However, some reviews raise concerns about management issues, including slow responsiveness to requests, mold problems, and pest control issues. While the building offers a peaceful environment, challenges exist with maintenance and landlord engagement. It is advisable for the management to address these issues promptly, improve communication, and prioritize tenant well-being to enhance overall satisfaction. Despite the drawbacks, the building's rent stabilization status may appeal to some renters seeking affordability in a community with supportive neighbors.
