    Review Summary for 600 West 187 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 600 West 187 Street underline its convenient location near transportation, stores, and schools, and appreciate the super's efforts. However, tenants report persistent issues with rodent infestations, poor heating during winter, and thin walls causing noise disturbances. Garbage management is consistently rated well, but overall cleanliness and pest control are problematic. Most complaints focus on confrontational, unresponsive, and ineffective management that fails to address repairs and tenant concerns timely. While apartments may be renovated nicely and neighbors are generally decent, the management company's shortcomings significantly impact residents' experiences, making the building less desirable despite some positive attributes.

    It is what it is.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The location of the building was pretty much the only pro, it was close to church, hardware store, grocery stores, supermarket, public transportation, schools.
    Cons:
    Management does nothing to actually fix any problems that arise unless you get the city involved. The walls were so thin I could hear the neighbors in bed & when they’d watch a movie, their music, couldn’t find a good spot to hang on the walls because it would go right through the “wall”. The RODENTS! My goodness, the rodents, the mouses would at times be roaming the hallways, cockroaches all the time no matter the cleanliness, the exterminator was useless. Management was also extremely rude for no reason aside from their power trip I’m guessing. Horrible.
    Advice to owner:
    Take care of your building, invest in better materials and products when you do replace something and take an anger management class and etiquette class to learn how to speak to tenants who would pay you.

    If only the building had a better management co.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The Super, Ricardo, is the best. He always tries to go above and beyond for Tenant’s.
    Cons:
    The Management company is beyond horrible. They are always confrontational and lie just about everything (e.g., calling routine plumbing work an emergency to shut off the water with no prior notice).
    Advice to owner:
    Get a new management company.
