    Review Summary for 337 West 138 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews for 337 West 138 Street highlight pros such as the elevator, spacious units, and natural light. However, cons include the lack of AC, unresponsive management, and noise transfer between floors. Suggestions for improvement include installing security cameras, fixing the buzzer, and updating the elevator and floors. Tenants appreciate the cleanliness and garbage management but express concerns about heat, pest control, and noisy neighbors. Inconsistencies in water pressure, unresponsive owner, and occasional outages are other drawbacks. Despite mixed reviews, the building's affordability and quiet street are noted positives.

    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    They vlean the floors everday and smells good all time
    Cons:
    No security cameras, scary elevator, super old wood floors, no working buzzer!!
    Advice to owner:
    Install security camera for our safety and our things because have been stolen, please fix the buzzer it is so important, try to improve the elevator with a new floor or new walls and the floors of the units, they are so old the are always sounding snd that brings bugs...
