    Review Summary for 241 W 113 St
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 241 West 113 Street highlight a mixed experience. Tenants value the building’s affordable rents, spacious apartments, strong water pressure, and a friendly neighborhood atmosphere. Proximity to parks is a plus, and many appreciate the great neighbors. However, significant concerns include poor management responsiveness, especially regarding maintenance issues like heating failures and elevator breakdowns. Garbage and cleanliness are inconsistent, with reports of pests and trash on floors. Communication from management is frequently criticized, with some experiences described as neglectful or unprofessional. Despite rent stabilization and reasonable costs, these maintenance and management problems deter some renters from recommending the building.

    Fine if you don’t care about broken stuff
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Affordable, near lots of parks. Great water pressure, great apartment space.
    Cons:
    Extremely delayed response to any maintenance problems. It has taken me months to get things fixed like laundry, roof leaks, etc. The elevator is wonky constantly and will get stuck a lot on the top floor or the basement. The elevator company they use is extremely unreliable and we rarely know when elevator maintenance is happening. There is only one elevator and 6 floors so this is extremely frustrating. There is also trash on many of the floors which is both the residents issue and the management not keeping things cleaner. Also the heat has gone out a couple times recently and we rarely hear about it or get updates.
    Advice to owner:
    Better communication mostly and FIX THE ELEVATOR
