Review Summary for 700 W 178 St
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenants express mixed feelings about 700 WEST 178 STREET. While residents appreciate the sense of community among long-term neighbors and praise Lenette's exceptional service, concerns arise about unresponsive management, noisy neighbors, pests, and inconsistent maintenance. Issues with heating control, low water pressure, and theft also emerge. Despite affordable rent and spacious units, tenants highlight cleanliness, pest control, and owner responsiveness as areas needing improvement. Ultimately, those seeking a lively community and affordable housing may find value here, provided management addresses crucial maintenance and communication gaps promptly.
