Review Summary for 518 West 204 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 518 West 204 Street, Manhattan, depict a building with responsive maintenance staff, especially the superintendent, who addresses issues promptly. Tenants appreciate the generally quiet atmosphere and decent neighbors, along with proximity to public transit. However, the building's aging infrastructure shows through in needed repairs to common areas like stairs and occasional pest problems near the garbage area. Some renters report rushed or incomplete renovations inside units and slow owner responsiveness, particularly regarding safety concerns such as broken windows. Overall, while some tenants recommend the building for its good management response and location, others note cleanliness and communication issues that management should address to improve living conditions.

First Floor (2020-2024
Former Tenant
Pros:
Super is highly responsive. My key was locked into the door and within 20 minutes, I had a new brand new lock. Every issue that I had the super fixed within reasonable time frame.
Cons:
Building is old and you its showing it's age. There was burst pipe on 4th floor apartment that went all the way down the first floor. All repairs was done within that week. Cant speak for all units but my unit is literally besides the outdoor garbage area so we have a pest problem but big enough to make us move out. The stairs feel like they're going bust at any moment. You can feel slight movement on every step you take. Some packages have been stolen
Advice to owner:
Don't only renovate the insides of the units. The common areas can use some repairs.

It is what you make it.
Former Tenant
Pros:
Quiet for the most part. Good neighbors who keep to themselves. Trash area is kept up. Close to subways. Door locks work.
Cons:
Seems like the remodels in the apartments are in rushed and not properly installed. We have had to reach out to maintenance for things breaking down due to half done jobs.
Advice to owner:
Inspect the apartments before you rent them out and after projects are completed.
