    Review Summary for 652 West 189 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews for 652 WEST 189 STREET highlight a generally clean environment with responsive management and friendly neighbors. The building offers convenience with proximity to transport and amenities like elevators and laundry facilities. However, some units lack modern conveniences like AC outlets by windows and may experience occasional noise disturbances. Suggestions for improvement include faster response times from management, better laundry room maintenance, and addressing safety concerns. Despite some drawbacks, pet-friendly policies and a package room are appreciated. Overall, a mix of positive and negative experiences but potential for enhancement.

    Pros:
    Generally always clean, super is responsive via phone, management company is also chill and allows tenants to pay with an online portal. Generally all neighbors are really friendly and some have lived here for over 20 years. Close to some v cute restaurants and close to the A and 1 trains. Fort Tryon is walking distance too! Elevator and laundry in building!
    Cons:
    Pre-war so sometimes things are silly like not having an outlet by a window for AC, 1 or 2 loud neighbors. A few streets up pops up on Citizen app every now and then and there is a needle exchange close by but so far haven’t had any issues with that at all.
    Advice to owner:
    Great building, just be sure you’re good with a commute from Upstate Manhattan :). Also not a car owner and there is lots of double (triple) parking. If that stresses you out maybe look elsewhere.
