Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 208 West 140 Street highlight a mix of positive and negative experiences. Tenants praise the responsive and helpful superintendents who maintain cleanliness in common areas and the building's favorable location near express trains. The community of neighbors is generally described as friendly. However, concerns are expressed about inconsistent apartment upkeep, with some units showing signs of neglect, lack of thorough cleaning between tenants, and aging fixtures. Rent increases without corresponding improvements have also been a source of dissatisfaction. Noise from the street can be noticeable on warmer nights. Overall, while management responsiveness and location are strengths, improvements in apartment maintenance and consistent cleaning are needed.

Some Pros and Cons

Pros

Location is great. It’s a smaller building and the people in the building are very nice. The original hardwood flooring in the apartments is also very pretty. The supers are very responsive and helpful.

Cons

The building isn’t very well maintained. The supers are great and always respond to requests, but it seems that the building owner doesn’t prioritize up keeping apartments very well. Our apartment was clearly not cleaned or repainted between tenants. There was literally old food in our oven, random things in drawers, and what looked like at least a decade of grime on things like window frames, tops of cabinets, etc. Some things in the apartment have clearly not been repaired or replaced in a long time either. Our rent was increased significantly between lease years, too, despite this.

Advice to the owners

Make repairs to the building/apartments regularly and please clean and paint between tenants.
