Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for buildings managed by 420 WEST 42ND STREET, LLC reveal a mixed experience with several strengths and challenges. Positives include friendly, helpful doormen and concierge staff, clean and well-maintained common areas, and spectacular views from higher-floor units. The management is often praised for addressing apartment issues promptly, although some criticize leasing office responsiveness and inconsistent communication. Noise and construction disruptions are frequent due to the central Midtown location near Port Authority, Times Square, and Lincoln Tunnel. Pest control remains a recurring concern, with some residents reporting persistent roach problems despite treatments. Elevator reliability and building modernization also need attention. Overall, tenants appreciate staff friendliness but desire improved maintenance, pest management, and management transparency.

Wife & Husband w/ varied opinions

Pros

- unbelievable, unbeatable views -friendly doorman - Pet friendly - in a higher up unit, pretty quiet

Cons

-Occasional pest problems (eventually did get resolved) - near Times Square and Lincoln Tunnel so very busy -LOTS of construction and poor communication from higher ups (not the people who work in the building)

Advice to the owners

I have had an AMAZNG experience living here, and feel thankful everyday as I look out at the view. There are also advantages to be in the middle when it comes to easily getting to other areas of NYC. My husband feels the opposite because of how busy the area is, having to deal with the construction noise for 2 years. This is how most people in the building feel either LOVE it or over the area. You'll need to reflect which camp you think you'd be in.
