    Review Summary for 561 West 143 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant feedback for 561 West 143 Street praises its affordable rent, convenient proximity to the 1 and A train stations, and nearby dining options. The building features an elevator and responsive management appreciated by some residents. However, common concerns include inconsistent heating and hot water, pest problems, elevator breakdowns, package theft due to poor security, and occasional leaks. Maintenance and owner responsiveness receive mixed reviews, with some noting slow or ineffective repairs. Noise levels can be high given the street location, and cleanliness varies. Overall, while the location and price attract renters, infrastructure and management issues suggest caution for prospective tenants.

    Affordable Apartment, But Falling Apart
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Only 2 blocks from the 145th station for the 1 train, cute bars and restaurants nearby (highly rec the Honeywell, the Wallace, and the Chipped Cup). Rent is affordable and there is an elevator (works most of the time)
    Cons:
    Super doesn’t really “fix” apartment issues - any leaks or water damage aren’t addressed, and the elevator tens to randomly stop working. He’s really nice overall, but doesn’t have the time/patience to respond to requests, so everything is sent through the leasing office. also the stairs are uneven at some parts, and we have had a bad string of packages being stolen.

    Hot water wildly inconsistent
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    They're responsive to pest complaints and they replaced our broken fridge relatively quickly. Rent isn't bad for the size.
    Cons:
    Biggest problem is how for weeks on end the hot water won't last longer than 5-10 minutes in the shower. Whenever we complain we hear something about replacing or cleaning the tank and then it comes back for a bit but it always gets cold again. Pretty sure they just have terrible hot water system/infrastructure and they just tell you BS until the hot water randomly comes back, rinse and repeat.


    Other than that the windows are janky and the lock is kinda fidgety.
    Advice to owner:
    Spend the money to make the hot water consistent
