    Review Summary for 448 West 57 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 448 West 57 Street paint a mixed picture. The building benefits from a prime Manhattan location and offers relatively affordable rents with flexible lease terms. Residents report small units and some pest control efforts, but issues with cockroaches, mice, and loud radiators are common. Cleanliness and garbage management are frequently criticized, with many noting crumbling walls, dirty lobbies, and sidewalk trash. Owner responsiveness is often described as slow or unhelpful, and neighbors can be noisy and disrespectful, including package theft and hallway messes. While some tenants appreciate the location and heat, the overall consensus advises caution due to maintenance and management challenges.

    Decent option in Hell's Kitchen
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The unit is small and lacks a living room, but location is wonderful and we haven't had problems with pests (just the odd roach), so we've been happy.
    Cons:
    The building's cleanliness could be improved, and the lobby and stairs are dusty and the walls are crumbling up the staircase.

    Worst building do not rent
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location is ok
    Cons:
    Mice, cockroaches, asshole/entitled super that refuses to do his job, loud radiators… the list goes on and on. Please don’t live here unless you’re desperate. The building has tons of violations and you will hate your life living here
