Review Summary for 530 West 45 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant reviews of 530 West 45 Street praise the building for cleanliness, well-managed garbage, and good water pressure. Tenants value the friendly staff and ample amenities. However, concerns arise about slow management responsiveness, noisy neighbors, and ineffective pest control. Some reviewers mention management's lack of upkeep and unresponsiveness to tenant needs, overshadowing the positives. Suggestions include improving communication and addressing maintenance issues promptly to enhance tenant satisfaction. Despite mixed feedback, the building's advantages like convenient location and well-maintained facilities make it appealing for potential renters.

Avoid like the plague!
Former Tenant
Pros:
New construction
large apartment (1 br w/ walk-in closet)
neighbors are great
pet friendly
bicyle parking
Cons:
Management completely non-responsive to tenant requests/email/phone calls.
Building already falling into disrepair (not even 10 years old yet)
AC / appliances will never be replaced (even if non-fixable)
Management will try and evict you for ANYTHING. REPEATEDLY.
Laundry only on three floors (of 14). total 19 washers and 18 dryers for 500+ apartments.
Unsupervised children use hallways and common areas as play areas.
The FOB entrance doors are often broke and allow anyone who wants access to the entire building.
Security is nonexistant.
Management changes the address to remit rent about once a year. They have changed names four times already -- with no notice to tenants.
There is no emergency lighting in the building.
Stairwells are not monitored by security cameras.
Managment is currently waging war with rent stabilized tenants by not renewing RS leases or offering leases with ridiculous changes to the terms and conditions -- then ignores requests for correction -- resulting in the tenant not having a lease renewed and possibly being evicted for "not signing a lease renewal."

... I could go on.
Advice to owner:
Perhaps you should find another business to be in -- one that doesn't directly affect the lives of SO MANY other people.
