    Review Summary for 215 W 116 St
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 215 W 116 St, Manhattan highlight renovated apartments with spacious rooms and good natural light in a convenient location near subway stops. The building features clean lobbies and stainless steel appliances, with generally friendly neighbors. However, persistent pest issues like roaches and occasional rat sightings are a major concern. Tenants report inconsistent heating and hot water problems, along with noise disturbances from the street and neighbors. Management and superintendents are often described as slow or unresponsive, with difficulties in communication and delayed maintenance. Despite some appeal, many renters do not recommend this building due to these unresolved issues.

    Decent but has issues
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Our unit was renovated and common spaces were renovated and appliances were good.

    The super can be slow but helpful
    Cons:
    Had many problems with responsiveness from the management and no access to landlord. Didn’t even hear back from them when moving out. Had to do rent withholding get them to fix dishwasher. A lot of noise from the street and upstairs neighbors.
