Review Summary for 155 West 21 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant feedback for 155 West 21 Street praises its attentive doorman and maintenance staff, cleanliness, and well-equipped amenities including a gym and rooftop. Apartments are generally spacious with modern appliances. The building offers a safe environment and friendly neighbors in a prime Manhattan location. However, renters report frustrations with complicated rent payment procedures, occasional unresponsiveness from the super, noise from neighbors, and some aging infrastructure requiring renovation. Management communication can be confusing, and pest control along with garbage removal are consistently well-handled. Overall, many recommend the building for its comfort and location despite a few operational drawbacks.

Amazing experience with this building!
Former Tenant
Pros:
Super attentive staff and management, clean public areas, super will come fix anything within the day, appliances all good.
Cons:
Lazarian properties had a very complicated way to pay rent/messed up our portal a few times. Nothing major, just frustrating.

Fine place to call home
Former Tenant
Pros:
Gym and laundry in building, friendly and responsive staff. Units are nice, on the newer side.
Cons:
Expensive!! And the listed rent is actually a discounted, lower price than their “legal allowed” rent, meaning that even though the rent price cannot be raised above a certain % each year, that % is based on the legal allowed/higher price, not your monthly rent. (Eg actual charged rent is 4.8k, but legal listed rent is over 8k; renewal raise is based on 8k).
Laundry machines in basement could be cleaner/better maintained.
The super can be helpful, but not a guarantee. In a couple of instances, the super has insisted that issues with appliances (eg dishwasher leaking) are user error and refused to address them.
Our unit is a studio+den (ie no window or AC in the bedroom space and no bedroom door), which causes the den/bedroom space to get very warm in the summer.
Our next door neighbor smokes weed and cigarettes in his apartment often, and it smells strongly through the walls and bathroom vent. Management done nothing to address this (not even a reminder to residents that this is a no smoking building).
