Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews for 600 West 157 Street highlight significant issues with cleanliness, pest infestations (notably roaches, mice, and bedbugs), and slow or non-existent maintenance responses. The building management is widely criticized for poor communication and prolonged repair delays, impacting residents' safety and comfort. While apartments are described as large and pet-friendly with decent heating and water pressure, security concerns arise due to unsecured entrances and presence of unwanted individuals in common areas. Despite affordable rents and proximity to subway access, most tenants do not recommend the building, urging management to improve pest control, repair services, and overall tenant safety.

Reviews

Former tenant·10 minutes ago

Roaches, broken elevator

Pros

Cheap and across from a subway entrance

Cons

Lots of rats in the garbage are, small roaches in the apartment. Super refuses to make repairs. The elevator smells like vomit and is now out of service due to rain. There's a hole in the ceiling of the bathroom. The building is unlocked and accessible to anyone walking by in the street and weird people hang out in the stairwell.
