    Review Summary for Sky
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 605 West 42 Street reveal a striking contrast between the building’s luxurious design, impressive views, and friendly concierge staff, and significant management and maintenance shortcomings. Many tenants praise the modern apartments, amenities, and quiet higher floors, but report frequent maintenance delays, broken appliances, pest infestations, and ineffective management communication. Noise from 11th Avenue traffic and occasional elevator outages add to resident frustrations. Cleanliness and garbage management quality vary widely, with some common areas poorly maintained. Despite these issues, residents value the building's location, amenities, and staff friendliness, though stronger management responsiveness and building upkeep are critically needed.
