    Review Summary for 236W West 135 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 236W West 135 Street highlight significant issues with cleanliness, pest infestations including mice and cockroaches, and poor garbage management. Many tenants report unresponsive and ineffective building management, with delayed or ignored maintenance requests and safety concerns such as broken door locks and unreliable heating. While some appreciate the quiet interior apartments, decent rent, and certain amenities like in-unit laundry, the overwhelming sentiment points to frustration with neglect and subpar living conditions. Renters strongly advise improved pest control, timely repairs, enhanced security measures, and attentive management to address health and safety violations for a better residential experience.

    okay starter apartment
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Nice neighbors, good amenities for the price, central location.

    Very not clean, mice in our apartment and roaches. Management is also unresponsive which is very frustrating.

    Please listen to your tenants!!

    We made it work… but it kinda sucked
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Interior apartments are incredibly quiet for a NYC apartment. Lived here with a dog who barks occasionally and never had a noise complaint. Chris the superintendent does not live in the building, but he is a good guy who is responsive to requests. Can’t say the same for building management. They suck.
    Cons:
    There are rats in the walls. Windows did not latch, and front door to building didn’t lock for months. Felt unsafe at times. Landlord seems super sketchy and rarely responds to emails. When we first moved in we could not run two appliances at once without the power to our apartment shutting off (took a year to get this fixed). Trash and building supplies pile up in the interior area of the building.
    Advice to owner:
    Need to do a serious extermination of mice and rats.
