Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 229 West 115 Street highlight its affordability and friendly, helpful super as key positives. Some units offer good amenities and the building has undergone partial renovations. However, persistent pest issues—including bugs and mice—and unreliable heating during winter are common challenges. Management and owner responsiveness receive mixed feedback, with calls for improved communication and customer service. Garbage management and water pressure ratings vary, but noise levels tend to be moderate to quiet. Overall, renters appreciate the value but urge enhanced maintenance, better pest control, and more attentive management to improve living conditions.

Affordable building, lots of families

Pros

Well priced Most units seem to have good amenities, though mine didn’t

Cons

Older building with typical pest and heating issues. In the summer the unit was crawling with bugs and roaches and we had a persistent mice issue through the fall and winter, with only minimal pest control from the building. In the winter the heat was pretty unreliable, swinging from too hot to sleep or freezing cold, sleeping in several sweaters, etc.
