Review Summary for 501 West 173 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant reviews highlight significant issues in the building, including poor cleanliness, garbage management, and noise levels. Residents face challenges with pests, unresponsive owners, and delayed security deposit returns. Despite some positives like good neighborhood and sunlight, the building suffers from rat infestation, package theft, and lack of amenities like laundry. Improvement suggestions emphasize better garbage area maintenance and consistent heating. Renters express disappointment with management's handling of security deposits, leading to prolonged disputes. While some approve of the owner, overall, there is a lack of recommendation due to various maintenance and management shortcomings.
