Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 501 West 168 Street highlight significant challenges, including poor cleanliness, inadequate heat during winter, and slow owner responsiveness. Tenants are concerned about security lapses, with reports of package theft and limited access control. The building lacks ADA access and features a demanding six-floor walk-up. While neighbors are sometimes described as friendly, noise levels and pest control issues are frequent complaints. Positively, the location provides proximity to schools, hospitals, and supermarkets. However, maintenance delays and structural neglect, including mold and dirty stairwells, deter many renters from recommending the building. Overall, management responsiveness and building upkeep require substantial improvement.

Reviews

Former tenant·7 minutes ago

It's just fine

Pros

the neighbors are all chill

Cons

6 floor walk up should be illegal, and there's no ADA access

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

RUN AWAY! STAY FAR AWAY FROM HERE!

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.
