    Review Summary for 512 West 134 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant feedback for 512 West 134 Street highlights a mixed experience typical of a prewar building with ongoing repairs. Positives include a friendly and helpful super, well-maintained common areas, reliable heating, and decent water pressure. The location near schools, parks, and transit is appreciated. Tenants value an online tenant portal and reliable mail delivery. However, pest control remains an issue despite regular extermination efforts, and some complain of dated interiors and intermittent heating problems. Noise levels and neighbor relations vary. The intercom system often malfunctions, and laundry accessibility could improve. Management responsiveness is inconsistent but has shown progress with new landlords.

    Pre war building will always need repairs, 1 year tenants complain the most
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Super is a very nice guy. People mind their own business. Online tenant portal to make payments and request maintenance. Close to schools and train. Parks nearby. Mail typically respected and delivered reliably.
    Cons:
    Students move in and out each year, complain the most by failing to understand the nature of an old building. Under recent new management. They're fine but still sorting things out. Doorbell system is weird. Two management companies ago we had a terrible management company that installed cheap interior in the building, gutted the prewar feel, installed crappy doors and made everyone lose kitchen space by installing a gas line that will eventually be void. New landlords have been better. But some of that damage will never be undone. The super is reliable, cleans and takes out trash daily. But there's limited space for trash and lots more tenants than previously. Some tenants don't respect this is a home for some of us and leave trash in the halls or drag trash juice down stairs. Old building sometimes requires water to be shut off to fix pipes or whatever, but that's to be expected.
    Advice to owner:
    Install a bug lamp near trash outside and under corridor between 510 and 512. Install additional laundry machines for 513. Better maintenance smoke detectors on each floor. Install new courtyard staircase and create better space for trash and recycling.
