Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of 535 West 43 Street praise its modern, clean apartments, strong water pressure, and appealing amenities like a large gym and rooftop social space. The building benefits from well-organized garbage management and friendly doormen. However, multiple renters report persistent issues with management responsiveness, elevator reliability, and noise from neighbors or the surrounding area. Pest problems such as roaches and occasional bedbug incidents were raised, sometimes without timely communication from management. Although the building is conveniently located and generally well maintained, concerns about staff professionalism, security, and maintenance delays suggest management could improve service consistency and tenant communication.
