    Review Summary for 503 West 148 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant feedback on 503 West 148 Street highlights a mix of strong points and notable concerns. Many appreciate the building’s clean common areas, effective garbage management, good heating, and solid water pressure. The location near public transport and the attractive marble stairs add appeal. Pest control efforts are generally regarded as effective. However, noise from nearby outdoor gatherings, especially in summer, can be a disturbance. Some tenants report inconsistent owner responsiveness, with particular issues around management’s communication and handling of security deposits leading to distrust. While some recommend the building for its upkeep and maintenance, caution is advised regarding management’s professionalism and tenant relations.

    BE WARY of unlawful, manipulative management. Know your rights as tenant.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Beautiful two-story space and lovely backyard.
    Cons:
    BE WARY of management. Be aware of your rights as tenant. The office ignored our communication regarding the status of our security deposit after move out and failed to provide us an itemized list of damages within 14 days, thusly breaking the law. (GOB CHAPTER 24-A, ARTICLE 7, TITLE 1, Clause 1-E, Section 7-108). After they attempted to invoice us 21 days past our lease end date, which we rightfully refused, the office barraged us with extremely unprofessional emails for pointing out their misstep. It’s strange that a landlord wouldn’t take responsibility in neglecting their lawful obligation, and even stranger to insult their former tenants afterward. Proceed with caution.
    Advice to owner:
    Do you usually call people “belligerent” and “unpleasant” when they call you out for attempting to break the law?
