    Review Summary for 283 West 147 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 283 W 147th Street indicate severe issues with cleanliness, pests, and landlord responsiveness. Tenants described the building as plagued by rats, roaches, and neglectful management. The lack of essential amenities like cooking gas for extended periods and noisy, unsupervised neighbors were recurring problems.

    This building has everything
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Cheap, cheap, cheap rent
    Cons:
    This building has everything... a slumblord, an admin that spends more time smoking outside of the management office than addressing any issues/repairs needed, drug dealers, cockroaches, rats, dirty hallways, unkempt dogs and children, families who should be reported to CPS, loud couples fighting at all hours, unemployed men playing video games and daydrinking, pot and regular smokers smoking in public areas, no heat/hot water on the regular, no cooking gas for over a year, a super who doesn't know how to clean...
    Advice to owner:
    Stop being a slumlord.

    Rent somewhere else
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Nothing, absolutely nothing.
    Cons:
    Rent somewhere else. Building has 90+ open violations including rats and roach infestations. We didn't have cooking gas for 18 months. The common areas are absolutely disgusting. The management company couldn't care less about the tenant's safety and health. Loud neighbors who let their kids run free and unsupervised will keep you up until 4 am. Some units have holes on the ceiling and floors, rotting floors, peeling paint. There's someone who throws their garbage out of the window and down the stairs.
