    Review Summary for 603 West 140 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 603 WEST 140 STREET highlight a great superintendent, convenient location near a park and transport, minimal noise, modern appliances, and good water pressure. However, drawbacks include occasional elevator and laundry machine issues, small closets, noisy neighbors, and slow management response times. Tenants appreciate the super's helpfulness but express frustration with the management company's disorganization. Suggestions for improvement focus on enhancing customer service. Despite mixed feelings towards the owner, residents generally recommend the building for its amenities and neighborhood perks, making it a suitable option for those willing to overlook some minor inconveniences.

    thank god for the super!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Close by a park
    Wonderful neighborhood staples like clean deli, awesome restaurants, and close to the train
    Great supe! Responsive and communicative
    Noise is very minimal
    Modern appliances
    Nice color scheme of newer apartments
    Back apartments have great natural light
    Cons:
    Tiny closests

    If your apartment wraps the elevator - room that shares a wall with the elevator means you’ll hear the doors open/close and people talking inside the elevator when using it to go/down at all hours.

    Elevator usually stops working every couple of weeks

    Only 1 or 2 out of the 3 washers works at a time. Spent almost 4 months with just 1 working.

    One neighbor has a vicious dog that doesn’t stop growling and lunging at you.

    Mail can sometimes go missing but supe usually saves it for you and will let you know where to find it
