    Review Summary for 525 West 28 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 525 West 28 Street in Manhattan reveal a well-maintained and clean building with friendly, responsive staff and efficient package management. Many tenants appreciate the safety, pet-friendly environment, and decent water pressure. However, some issues persist, including inconsistent heating, occasional noise from neighbors and the street, and occasional management unresponsiveness, particularly from leasing offices. Several residents note discomfort from HVAC noise, thin walls leading to a lack of privacy, and occasional odors in common areas. Though management generally responds promptly to maintenance, some renters feel better resident support and improved communication are needed to enhance living experience.

    Better Off somewhere else
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    It’s convenient and close to nice places.
    It has a decent package system
    Friendly front desks (besides the short dude)
    Cons:
    Pretty much everything else
    Appliances break and poor responsiveness from management
    Constantly smells like pee; they do nothing to curb any of the smell besides spraying water on the building
    The front desk man who is on the shorter side has a terrible attitude and constantly exhibits this attitude with residents
    The internet connection is spotty
    Advice to owner:
    Support residents more!
