Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 618 West 136 Street reveal significant management and maintenance challenges. While some tenants note benefits like affordable rent, strong water pressure, and proximity to public transit, the overall experience is marred by unresponsive management and frequent unresolved repairs. Persistent issues with pests, garbage buildup, poor cleanliness, and security concerns, including unlocked entrances and lack of intercoms, are common complaints. Heating is inconsistent, and neighbors and noise levels vary, often detracting from comfort. Renters advise urgent improvements in pest control, building upkeep, and owner responsiveness to enhance livability. Currently, these persistent problems discourage recommending this building.

Good, affordable place to live when things work

Management is super unresponsive, so you can go months-years without repairs. Definitely not worth the hassle.
