    Review Summary for 511 West 135 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews for 511 WEST 135 STREET highlight concerning issues like pest infestations, mold, and unresponsive management. Renters faced challenges with rodents, leaks, and unaddressed maintenance problems. While some appreciate the neighborhood and neighbors, others faced delayed security deposit returns and communication issues with the landlord.

    Living nightmare, avoid if possible
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The neighborhood is lovely and our neighbors were very kind people.
    Cons:
    We lived there for over 2 years and had consistent roach, mice, and mold issues. New City Management is the absolute worst and consistently ignored us until withholding rent our entire time living there. NIGHTMARE APARTMENT waking up to roaches of all sizes, mold in the kitchen and bathroom, and mice scratching inside the walls at night (we caught two!).
    Advice to owner:
    Adequate responses to complaints and sending immediate pest control.

    Great street and neighbors
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The neighbors, the other windows
    Cons:
    Took a very long time to get security deposit back had to call/ email then multiple times over months. And then they deducted $300 for me leaving a carton of egg in the clean fridge. We cleaned that place better than it looked when we moved in.
    Advice to owner:
    Pay security deposits back on time and be nice to the people in the building who help you
