    Review Summary for 100 West 139 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 100 West 139 Street reveal a mixed living experience. The building offers spacious, renovated units with high ceilings and convenient location near transit and amenities. Tenants consistently note responsive and present management, including a live-in superintendent. However, common issues persist: pest control is inconsistent, garbage and cleanliness in hallways need improvement, and noise levels can be high due to the building’s location on a busy street. Package theft and lack of secure mail areas are frequent complaints, and water pressure and heating have been problematic at times. While some renters praise the community and updates, others report negligent ownership practices and safety concerns.

    Slum Lord Vibes
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Unit was spacious and had great light; apartment building location was convenient to subway and restaurants
    Cons:
    Awful smell coming into the units from the subway restaurant on the floor level; the windows needed to be replaced or soundproofed, you could literally hear every single noise off the street and it's on a major road; landlords did not clean my apartment after the last tenant left, it was filthy when I moved in; water pressure in the bathroom was truly nonexistant and they wouldn't fix it or even allow a 3rd party plumber in to measure the water pressure; security measures in the foyer are a joke because even if they catch someone stealing your package (as they did with one of my packages, because there is no secure package room in the building) they refuse to publicize it to other tenants or to help you report it to police; the landlords make plenty of money but don't invest any of it into the building at all.
    Advice to owner:
    Put some of the money you make back into the building, beyond simply renovating units to jack up prices and get more rent.
