Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for 81 WEST RIVER COMPANY properties reveals a mixed picture of management. Positively, residents appreciate friendly doormen, attentive maintenance staff, good water pressure, and well-secured package handling. Community spaces like rooftop lounges and playrooms are valued, contributing to a sense of neighborhood. However, ongoing building issues with plumbing, pest control, and noisy environments have frustrated some renters. Several complaints highlight slow elevator service, frequent construction, and management's tendency to apply temporary fixes rather than root causes. There are also concerns about a tense staff culture and occasional unresponsiveness. Overall, expect courteous staff but some challenges with building upkeep and proactive management.

Reviews

A good facade

Pros

Safe Neighborhood, great water pressure in the apartment. Packages are always safe. Doormen are nice.

Cons

Slow elevators, constant construction in the building, maintnence and management loves to put a bandaid on things that are broken without getting to the true cause so I had to put in a request to fix the same things many times.

Decent building that's poorly taken care of and managed

Pros

The apartments are spacious, the doormen are helpful, and having the package room is nice.

Cons

The building has a lot of major water issues. The water gets shut off most months with little notice to residents. The kitchen and bathroom sinks often flood with backwash water spewing out. The building management tries to fix the issues themselves rather than hiring professional plumbers. There are often cockroaches seen in the hallways and stairwells. The gym equipment is old. The management company is incredibly unhelpful with questions about your lease.
