Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 3 West 137 Street highlight renovated units with in-unit washer/dryers, upgraded kitchens, and clean apartments as major benefits. Residents appreciate good water pressure, well-managed garbage, and relatively quiet neighbors in some cases. However, recurring issues include inconsistent heating, pest problems (rats and roaches), occasional noise from nearby businesses, and an unresponsive management team that delays repairs and communication. Despite the building’s good lighting, security features, and cleanliness, frustrations with maintenance response and pest control impact tenant satisfaction. Rent stabilization is not a feature here, so renters should weigh these pros and cons carefully before deciding.
