    Review Summary for 640 W 139 St
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews highlight the building's cleanliness, responsive owner, and great amenities like pest control and water pressure. Residents appreciate the caring landlady, Mavi, who maintains units well and responds promptly. Some concerns include occasional elevator and boiler issues. Despite some noise levels and pests for a few tenants, the majority praise Mavi's professionalism and proactive management style. However, one review raises serious issues regarding landlord behavior and security deposit handling. While the neighborhood is praised, the negative landlord experience is a significant drawback for some tenants.
