    Review Summary for 221 Wadsworth Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 221 Wadsworth Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10033, depict a building with mixed feedback. Tenants praise the friendly super, ideal location near public transport, and responsive management. However, recurring pest problems, noisy neighbors, and inadequate maintenance are key concerns. Some suggest better pest control measures and improved building infrastructure. While some approve of the owner, others disapprove due to neglected upkeep and security issues. Overall, the building offers convenience but needs enhancements in pest control, maintenance, and neighbor accountability to improve the overall living experience for tenants.

    Decent, but bad pest problem
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Spacious. Came with tv, ac, in unit laundry, and almost all utilities included in rent.
    The super has been very responsive when we've needed him. Nice area and generally would love this apartment if not for the cons.
    Cons:
    The pests. The landlord will not do maintenance to actually stop anything like sealing holes so you just gotta deal with it on your own :/ We've had mice, roaches, and even ants. None ever really went away they come in waves.
    Heat is pretty unbearable in the main room from lack of windows but the bedrooms have the ac units so at least it isnt too hot to sleep.
    Advice to owner:
    for the amount you charge for rent, better maintenance is needed besides sending an exterminator to spray around once a month.
