    Review Summary for 651 W 188 St
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant feedback for 651 W 188 St in Manhattan reveals strengths in unit size, ceiling height, and available amenities like elevators, laundry, and a package room. Many residents find neighbors generally agreeable and appreciate the building’s heating. However, pest control is a widespread concern, with frequent reports of mice and roach infestations linked to inconsistent exterminator service.

    Solid size 1 bedroom, area and neighbors leave much to be desired.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    King size bedroom, nice floors and high ceilings. The super is very friendly and the laundry room is solid.
    Cons:
    We caught over 13 mice in the short time we lived here. Several instances of roaches as well. The pest control person came and went one time, and all within 2 minutes. He gave us sticky traps which we won't use as they are inhumane. There is also a man who wanders the halls regularly while intoxicated constantly yelling out for "Maria." Sidewalks in the are constantly covered in dog shit. Lots of double parking and beeping at all hours.
