    Review Summary for 500 West 190 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 500 West 190 Street in Manhattan highlight spacious, affordable apartments as a major plus. However, significant issues persist with noisy plumbing, poor sound insulation, and disruptive neighbors affecting comfort. Cleanliness and pest control are consistently problematic, with tenants reporting roach infestations and inadequate building upkeep. Heating repairs often require persistent follow-up, and management responsiveness is widely criticized as slow and ineffective. Security concerns like malfunctioning front door locks are also noted. While some appreciate eventual landlord repairs, the overall sentiment calls for improved maintenance, stricter pest control, and more attentive management to enhance tenant satisfaction.

    Pretty bad building and terrible management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Cheap and sizeable apartment
    Cons:
    The pipes are so unbelievably loud. It wakes my whole apartment up multiple times a night. Management is unbearable to work with. Truly terrible. They bug situation is also pretty bad and management doesnt care. You have to take care of it yourself. There is literally nothing that could happen that managment could care about- even when my ceiling was leaking and had mold growing I had to hound them to get it taken care of, which consited of them just paining over the water stains, and leaving the paint they chipped off all over the counter and floor. I could go on but you het the point.
    Advice to owner:
    Take care of the apartments. Be responsive when tenants tell you there's a problem. And call people back when you say you will so they don't have to chase you down for the smallest thing.
