Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants of William West-managed buildings praise the central locations, friendly doormen, and prompt maintenance for a generally pleasant living experience. However, persistent issues include inconsistent heating control, frequent pest problems (especially roaches and mice), and thin, uninsulated windows leading to noise disturbance. Some report slow or poor responsiveness from management and the super, occasionally accompanied by unprofessional behavior. Older infrastructure and occasional maintenance delays are noted, along with concerns about rising rents and a limited number of amenities. Overall, residents value the helpful staff and good community feel but urge for better pest control, heating consistency, and enhanced management communication.

Solid first nyc apt

Pros

Great maintenance and doormen staff, central to everything

Cons

Very loud if on main street side, will have cockroaches in the summer due to warm weather, leasing people are terrible to work with, can be hit or miss if you have a good neighbor
