    Review Summary for 565 West 173 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 565 West 173 Street in Manhattan reveal significant issues impacting tenant satisfaction. While the location near transit is a plus, many renters report persistent pest infestations, including roaches and mice, which remain unresolved despite repeated complaints. Cleanliness and garbage management are notably poor, with common areas sometimes unsafe due to trash and even hazardous items. Noise levels are frequently high, detracting from living comfort. Maintenance staff receive some positive remarks, but overall owner responsiveness and management are widely criticized for being slow or unhelpful. Heating generally functions well, but water pressure and apartment conditions vary. Tenants urge management to prioritize pest control and building safety improvements.

    Not worth the price
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    No bugs and close to train
    Cons:
    Mold in apartment slow response from management
    Over 4 years ago
    It’s not worth how cheap it is
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Really can’t think of any. The neighborhood is nice enough, but the landlord shouldn’t get any credit for that
    Cons:
    Tiny units, if you want to take a hot shower, be prepared to wait 15 minutes for it to warm up, roaches and mice EVERYWHERE. They had the regular exterminator then too, it made no difference, kitchen was disgusting when we moved in, super is overworked so he doesn’t answer and when you call the management company they give you grief for calling the people you’re paying thousands a month to instead of the overworked super. Please don’t live here, it’s not worth whatever you’re saving.
    Advice to owner:
    Please throw a few thousand at a really intense pest control sweep in every unit and the underbelly of the building. It’s absolutely disgusting that you continue to rent to people with an infestation like that. Someone is going to get sick.
