Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 671 West 193 Street underscore its appeal as a rent-stabilized building with spacious units, high ceilings, friendly neighbors, and convenient access to transportation. Tenants appreciate the often clean common areas and reliable laundry facilities. However, significant concerns include frequent elevator breakdowns, persistent pest infestations (roaches, mice, bedbugs), and outdated electrical systems. Noise from thin floors and unresponsive management further diminish resident satisfaction. Many renters note slow or inadequate property maintenance and poor landlord communication, advising the need for more attentive management and pest control efforts to improve the overall living environment.
