Review Summary for 174 W 81 St
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant reviews suggest that the building at 174 WEST 81 STREET offers a great location in a vibrant part of UWS. The landlord is responsive to maintenance requests, but some units face issues like leaks and lack of elevators. Issues with pests and unresponsive management have been reported, affecting the overall experience.

Good starter apartment
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location is great, right off of Amsterdam Ave and in a vibrant part of the UWS. Also, the landlord is very responsive about maintenance requests, and repairs are usually completed within a few days. The price was also reasonable for the neighborhood, given the current market.
Cons:
No elevator, the stairway is kind of rundown, and the ceiling leaks in the staircase when it rains.
