Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 203 East 121 Street praise the building's convenient location near transportation, grocery stores, and amenities like outdoor spaces, a gym, and laundry facilities. Units are generally described as updated with good water pressure and pest control. Rent stabilization and a part-time doorman add value. However, tenants note issues with drafty windows causing high utility bills, occasional rude staff interactions, and intermittent maintenance delays. Noise from neighbors and the building's surroundings varies, with some concerns about safety and cleanliness in common areas. Suggestions include improving tenant screening, upgrading gym equipment, and enhanced responsiveness from management to improve resident experience.
