Review Summary for 242 West 109 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 242 West 109 Street highlight a mix of pros and cons. Tenants appreciate updated apartments with modern features like built-in washer/dryers and responsive maintenance teams. The building is praised for its quiet environment and friendly neighbors. However, several renters note issues with garbage management, cleanliness of common areas, and occasional pests.
