    Review Summary for 168 West 107 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 168 West 107 Street highlight a desirable location near amenities but emphasize poor management responsiveness. Tenants appreciate the area's convenience and nearby amenities. However, issues with heating, noise levels, pest control, and unresponsive landlords are significant drawbacks. Residents face challenges with heating control, noise disturbances, and an ongoing pest problem. Improvement in maintenance communication and addressing common area cleanliness and noise concerns is advised for a better living experience. Overall, despite the potential, the building falls short in key management areas, affecting residents' satisfaction.

    168 w 107th review
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Privacy and decent space
    Cons:
    Hard to contact anyone for maintenance, or anyone in charge really. The roof needs work so water damage on the ceiling occurred.
    Advice to owner:
    Be more responsive to tenants.
