Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for Austin Smyth’s managed buildings in Manhattan’s 160 West 24 Street highlights a generally responsive and attentive management team praised for cleanliness, friendly doormen, and well-maintained amenities like gyms and rooftops. However, consistent issues include noise due to proximity to busy avenues and occasional poor water pressure. Pest control efforts appear mixed, with some residents noting unresolved rat problems. Construction and renovation noise during weekends and maintenance delays have been sources of frustration. While some find the apartments pricey with dated older units, many appreciate the location and safety. Overall, management is considered engaged but could improve infrastructure upkeep and communication.
