    Review Summary for 615 West 162 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Tenant reviews for 615 West 162 Street reveal a mixed living experience. Positives include rent-stabilized units, spacious apartments with multiple bathrooms, a good neighborhood with friendly neighbors, and convenient subway access. Heat generally works well, and some tenants commend specific staff like the super. However, major concerns center around poor management responsiveness, frequent rent hikes, chronic pest infestations (especially roaches), inadequate garbage management, occasional maintenance delays, and security issues like package theft. Noise levels vary but can be disruptive at times. Tenants urge the owner to improve pest control, communication, and repairs to enhance building upkeep and resident satisfaction.

    Fine building to live in
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Rent stabilized unit, really big, 2 bathrooms in it, close to the trains.
    Cons:
    Mfs steal packages CONSTANTLY. never ever let a package sit for more than 10 minutes, be ready to collect it immediately. also some issues with mold, wet walls, and the owner is basically unresponsive. The front doorknob of the building has broken twice on the inside. No way to get out. It was fixed by morning but we had to wait for someone to come by and open it from the outside, then we taped the door open. Basement laundry, but very few machines and even less work.
    Advice to owner:
    Fix the package stealing problem- put a camera somewhere. And please respond to any call or text. Its radio silence.
