    Review Summary for 621 West 171 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.

However, some tenants mention noisy neighbors and occasional loud disturbances. A mix of positive and negative experiences with management is reported, pointing to delayed responses and unresolved issues like maintenance and laundry services.

    Management could do better
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    We loved our apartment, but did not love living in the building. We always had heat and good water pressure, but the rest of the building and interactions with management were poor.
    Cons:
    Management was not responsive, nor timely. Once our bathroom ceiling collapsed and they were in no rush to fix it. Another time, there was a pile of fecal matter (we still don’t know if it was from a dog or human…) in the hallway next to the elevator for almost four days. We were told there was laundry in the building when we got the apartment, then after we moved in management told us that the laundry had been shut off indefinitely (it was not turned back on the entire 3 years of living there). Management could give more attention to the building and tenants, because the building has potential to be really great. The building was pretty loud. Tenants of that building and c surrounding ones liked to hang on the stoop until early hours of the morning.
    Advice to owner:
    The building has the potential to be great, it just needs more attention and timely responses.
