    657 West overall building concerns
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    About ten families has been living there for many years
    Cons:
    Front door lock is always broken.
    Over 3 years ago
    Needs Attention
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location is the only good thing.
    Cons:
    The building is unattended. With the proper management it will be the perfect building. Extremely disgusting, lobby door broken 97% of the time. Dirty, constantly has human feces around the hallways due to crackhead who loiter in the building due to the easy access. Needs a lighter paint color due to its darkness this makes it unsafe for tenants. Trash all over the building.
    Advice to owner:
    Maintain your building its extremely disgusting. Specially with covid it truly sucks.

    Stay away if you value service
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Prime location is the only good
    Cons:
    They do not fix anything unless you call 311 and drug addicts live in the common areas of building.
    Advice to owner:
    Need more security and better security system for building entry plus intercom.
