    Review Summary for 507 West 139 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 507 West 139 Street present a mixed living experience. The building benefits from a good location near City College and convenient laundry options. Many tenants find the premises generally clean with decent heating and water pressure. However, noise can be an issue, especially due to proximity to an active firehouse, and some apartments feel cramped with limited closet space. Owner responsiveness and management communication are commonly criticized, with delays and occasional unresponsiveness noted. Pest control is inconsistent, and some report concerning management behavior, which raised serious safety concerns. While some recommend the building for its positives, others advise caution.

    Not terrible but could be better
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    It’s pretty clean and I have laundry in unit
    Cons:
    Took almost 4 months to get a lease renewal. We rarely get responses to email in a timely fashion. Lots of letter from con Ed to turn off service.
