    Review Summary for 203 West 144 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews for 203 WEST 144 STREET in Manhattan highlight persistent issues with cleanliness, pest control, and unresponsive management. Despite decent heating and water pressure, tenants face challenges such as water damage, mold, safety hazards, and frequent package theft due to broken doors. The building's pros include renovated apartments, but cons like poor renovations, maintenance, and unaddressed safety concerns have led to a lack of recommendation from renters.

    Think twice before renting here
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The heat is probably the best thing about this building.
    Cons:
    Cat sized rats outside the building at night, Super doesn’t fix shit I had water damage in my bathroom for a year and lastly had a problem with roaches when the weather got cold.
    Advice to owner:
    Get a better super & actually respond to complaints.

    Negligent management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    They were very accommodating when I subletted my apartment and also when I needed to break my lease early due to changes with my employment.
    Cons:
    They let water damage build up for almost 4 years in my bedroom and bathroom, it reached unlivable conditions and I had to write dozens of emails and finally had to threaten to file an official complaint with the Office of the Tenant Advocate. They took weeks to replace a broken smoke detector.
    Advice to owner:
    Be available for calls at the management office during working hours (they will let the phone ring off the hook without answering between 9am-5pm on business days) and responsive to maintenance requests. They have been wildly negligent in the past.
