    Review Summary for 601 W 149 St
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 601 W 149 St, Manhattan reveal that tenants appreciate the polite neighbors, convenient location near Riverside Park, and some in-unit amenities like laundry and large bedrooms. However, persistent complaints about unresponsive and inattentive management dominate renter experiences, with delayed maintenance, safety concerns like faulty locks, and inadequate handling of serious issues such as leaks and heating inconsistencies. Cleanliness and garbage management have been criticized, and noise levels are often high due to the neighborhood and alley lighting. While some tenants value the community, overall renter satisfaction is dampened by poor management and maintenance practices, making prospective renters cautious.
