    Review Summary for 521 West 122 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 521 West 122 Street highlight its prime location near Columbia University, affordability, and well-maintained communal areas. Tenants appreciate quiet surroundings, good water pressure, and ample natural light in spacious units. However, a significant concern reported is the management's poor responsiveness and frequent maintenance delays, especially regarding safety-related repairs and pest control issues, including recurring bed bugs. Noise and smoking problems from neighbors have also been noted, though some management staff are praised for their attentiveness. While the building offers convenience and decent amenities, prospective renters should weigh these benefits against management and upkeep challenges.
