    Review Summary for 611 West 148 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 611 WEST 148 STREET in Manhattan reveal a mixed experience. Tenants appreciate the convenient location, renovated units, and proximity to Riverside Park. However, major concerns arise regarding poor building maintenance, including rampant pest issues, inadequate garbage management, and unresponsive management. Multiple reports of safety hazards, broken amenities, and unreliable communication highlight the need for significant improvements. While some praise friendly neighbors and certain in-unit features, overall, the building's potential is overshadowed by neglect and mismanagement, making it challenging to recommend as a comfortable living choice.

    Where is the management????
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The super responds to texts relatively quickly.
    The washer dryer in unit is nice.
    The neighbors are helpful.
    Cons:
    The management is completely ghosting the entire building. We’ve had roaches, flies, gnats and more infesting the building and no one will respond to any requests of any kind. Massive structural damage will occur and you’ll wait months for anyone to do anything about it until you threaten with legal action. Management is inept. Feces flooded the basement and I was told that it “just happens.” Disgusting.
    Advice to owner:
    Give tenants an actual number to call, not your endless robo voice mail
