    Review Summary for 6 West 139 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 6 West 139 Street highlight a generally clean, well-managed, and quiet building with friendly neighbors and good amenities like a doorman, laundry, and a roof deck. Many appreciate the spacious apartments, noise isolation, and strong water pressure. However, concerns have emerged about pest control, including roach sightings, and slow or unresponsive management, especially following recent changes in property managers. Some tenants note delays in maintenance repairs and issues with laundry facilities. While the building is praised for location and staff friendliness, renters suggest improvements in pest management, maintenance responsiveness, and upkeep of common areas to enhance the living experience.
