    Review Summary for 220 West 149 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews highlight 220 W 149 St as situated in a quiet neighborhood with long-term tenants. However, the landlord's unresponsiveness regarding repairs, heat, and hot water issues is a major concern. Inconsistencies in maintenance services and turnover in management staff affect tenant experience negatively. While some appreciate the building's amenities and location, others face difficulties with security deposits and lockouts. Improvement in communication, professionalism, and prompt maintenance responses are crucial for enhancing tenant satisfaction. Despite some positive aspects like good neighbors and water pressure, issues with management responsiveness and maintenance need immediate attention for a better living experience.

    nice neighborhood landlord bare min
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    its quiet and some of the tenants have lived there for many years.
    Cons:
    the Landlord/Management company is notorious for never answering phone or emails.
    slow at doing repairs! Everyone is attentive if you withhold any MONEY! which is sad. if you like heat and hot water RUN. Also super can be rude. You have to interact with tenants, so great people skills are essential. They keep deposits often take photos of apt if you move in!
    Advice to owner:
    if you want less 311 calls and complaints make sure water is hot at all times and hire supers who have proper etiquette

    its nice but the owners make it worse
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    the cameras and its well lit when you come into the building
    Cons:
    the property manager never answers his phone and the turn over rate at the management office is so high. you never know whom to reach out to for a issue as they run through employees.

    They treat minorities differently than other tenants!

    They work on things and not give you notice IE: hot water
    Advice to owner:
    Your in the people business. Treat people with respect and have more professional employees.
    can only hind behind emails and phone numbers for so long.
