    Review Summary for 45 West 139 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 45 West 139 Street reveal a building with included utilities and convenient location near transit. The interior is somewhat modern and suitable as a starter home. However, residents consistently report issues with cleanliness, pest control, and building upkeep including garbage rooms and elevators. Security concerns and package theft are common, alongside noisy and unruly neighbors. Owner and management responsiveness is generally poor, with calls for better maintenance and communication. While rent stabilization and family-friendliness appeal to some, the overall environment struggles with safety, infrastructure reliability, and tenant satisfaction, indicating need for improved management and building care.
