    Review Summary for 15 West 139 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 15 West 139 Street indicate a mixed living experience. The building offers large, sunlit apartments with nice appliances and a convenient location near transit, schools, and hospitals. Residents appreciate friendly neighbors and responsive elevator service. However, pests like roaches and bed bugs are recurring problems, especially in warmer months. Heating is inconsistent, and water pressure issues exist. Management and owner responsiveness are frequently criticized, with complaints about unorganized staff, poor security, stolen packages, and maintenance delays. Noise levels vary, and some safety concerns related to homeless individuals have been reported. Rent stability varies across units.

    Terrible and Not Safe
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The rent is cheap with large apartments and friendly neighbors.
    Cons:
    The place is terrible. Bed bugs, nails coming out of floor board, water constantly being turned off or no hot water, homeless people living in the stairwell doing drugs, electrical problems, elevators constantly breaking down with people in it, and so much more. I would not advise you to live here.
