    Review Summary for 501 West 168 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 501 West 168 Street highlight a generally poor living experience characterized by management's slow responsiveness and inadequate maintenance. Tenants report significant issues such as lack of heat during winter, poor cleanliness, pest problems, and weak water pressure. Security concerns arise from package thefts and loose control over building access, with little intervention from management. While neighbors are sometimes described as friendly, noise levels and overall safety are frequently criticized. The absence of ADA accessibility and the challenging six-floor walk-up add to tenant dissatisfaction. Proximity to schools, hospitals, and supermarkets is a noted advantage, but overall, renters are hesitant to recommend this building.

    It's just fine
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    the neighbors are all chill
    Cons:
    6 floor walk up should be illegal, and there's no ADA access
    Over 2 years ago
    RUN AWAY! STAY FAR AWAY FROM HERE!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Absolutely nothing good to say.
    Cons:
    Do not consider this building at all. Neighbors steal you packages, then knock on your door claiming that they “found them all opened” then ask money in return. Management knows about this and does absolutely nothing. Also, they do not care about the structure. Flooring is moldy and disgusting and they do not want to repair it.
