Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews of 408 West 130 Street in Manhattan consistently note its spacious, rent-stabilized units, good water pressure, and proximity to green spaces and transit as strong points. However, the building suffers significant management issues: owners and supers are frequently unresponsive to maintenance and pest problems, especially bed bug infestations and heating failures. Pest control is generally poor, and heating is often unreliable in winter. Noise levels and neighbors receive mixed feedback, with some praise for friendly tenants but also reports of problematic individuals. Elevator and package theft issues add to tenant frustration. While the location and affordability appeal, management shortcomings heavily impact quality of life.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

The owners are terrible

Pros

My apartment was spacious - heat was ample and the water pressure was good

Cons

Management did not reply to complaints - we had several litigations. The elevator broke down frequently and would not be repaired for weeks. There were tenants that created huge issues and the owners did nothing about it

Advice to the owners

Stop being a slumlord

Former tenant·4 months ago

Great until you run into any issues

Pros

Elevator (relatively small but gets the job done) Laundry in basement (only available during certain hours) Nice lobby area Decently sized units GREAT views if you're high up enough

Cons

The supers I knew were pretty unresponsive, even during more urgent situations. Never actually saw a single super once. Management is basically nonexistent and impossible to reach. Couldn't even get a reliable response while trying to figure out how to give them money for something. Management refused to uphold their legal obligations during a bed bug infestation
