Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of 283 West 147 Street reveal pervasive management neglect, with tenants citing ongoing issues like lack of cooking gas for over a year, unreliable heat, and severe pest infestations including rats and cockroaches. Cleanliness and garbage management are notably poor, leading to unsanitary conditions and numerous health violations. Noise levels are problematic due to unruly neighbors, and common areas are frequently described as dirty and unsafe. Despite affordable rent and some friendly neighbors, residents strongly criticize the landlord’s unresponsiveness and subpar maintenance, advising urgent management overhaul to address these chronic problems and improve tenant well-being.

Reviews

Former tenant·13 hours ago

Landlord unresponsive and neglectful

Pros

Cheap. Great neighborhood. Lovely neighbors.

Cons

Awful landlord. Neglectful and openly ignore tenants. We didn’t have cooking gas for 14 months. Problems with heat. Pests and cleanliness is a constant problem.

Advice to the owners

High a new management company. It’s run like a slum lord and these tenants (many who’ve been here 15-20 years) deserve far better.

This building has everything

Pros

Cheap, cheap, cheap rent

Cons

This building has everything... a slumblord, an admin that spends more time smoking outside of the management office than addressing any issues/repairs needed, drug dealers, cockroaches, rats, dirty hallways, unkempt dogs and children, families who should be reported to CPS, loud couples fighting at all hours, unemployed men playing video games and daydrinking, pot and regular smokers smoking in public areas, no heat/hot water on the regular, no cooking gas for over a year, a super who doesn't know how to clean...

Advice to the owners

Stop being a slumlord.
