Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant insights at 420 West 42 Street highlight its unbeatable city views, friendly doormen, and pet-friendly atmosphere as major positives. The building staff, including concierge and maintenance, are generally praised for being helpful and responsive. Amenities like in-building laundry add convenience, though the gym is considered small and under-equipped. Challenges include ongoing construction noise, high traffic proximity affecting noise levels, and occasional pest issues, with some residents reporting cockroach problems. Elevator reliability and management responsiveness have room for improvement, as do unit modernizations and communication on repairs. Despite these, many renters value the location’s convenience and consider it suitable for first-time renters.

Wife & Husband w/ varied opinions

Pros

- unbelievable, unbeatable views -friendly doorman - Pet friendly - in a higher up unit, pretty quiet

Cons

-Occasional pest problems (eventually did get resolved) - near Times Square and Lincoln Tunnel so very busy -LOTS of construction and poor communication from higher ups (not the people who work in the building)

Advice to the owners

I have had an AMAZNG experience living here, and feel thankful everyday as I look out at the view. There are also advantages to be in the middle when it comes to easily getting to other areas of NYC. My husband feels the opposite because of how busy the area is, having to deal with the construction noise for 2 years. This is how most people in the building feel either LOVE it or over the area. You'll need to reflect which camp you think you'd be in.
