    Review Summary for 137 West 145 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 137 West 145 Street note its convenient location near subway, laundry facilities, and grocery stores as a definite plus. While some tenants find the rent reasonable and appreciate amenities like a gym, issues persist with cleanliness, garbage management, and inconsistent pest control. Complaints include poor management responsiveness, occasional trash accumulation, package theft, and problematic neighbors, including smoking in hallways. The apartments tend to be small with limited privacy due to interior French doors. Water pressure is described as moderate to low, and noise levels vary. Suggestions focus on better maintenance, stricter smoking policies, and more attentive management to improve tenant satisfaction.
