    Review Summary for 543 West 187 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 543 West 187 Street highlight the building's rent stabilization, convenient location near public transit, and spacious units as key benefits. However, several tenants report ongoing issues with cleanliness, garbage management, and poor water pressure. Noise disturbances from neighbors and occasional elevator malfunctions contribute to discomfort. While some appreciate management's responsiveness, others find it lacking, especially regarding heating and security concerns like package theft. Suggestions include enhanced building maintenance, better lighting, and improved intercom systems. Despite drawbacks, tenants recognize potential if management addresses these operational and infrastructure challenges.
