Tenant feedback for 520 East 14 Street, Manhattan, highlights its excellent location near the L train, grocery stores, and dining options. Many appreciate the affordable rent and responsive management's effort, though response times for in-apartment issues can lag. However, the building suffers from significant drawbacks, including persistent pest problems (rats, mice, cockroaches), outdated and poorly maintained apartments, noise disturbances from neighboring units and back patio parties, and occasional heating issues. Management communication has been criticized for rudeness and neglect, particularly regarding security deposit returns and pest control. Rent increases and guarantor requirements have also posed challenges. Overall, location is a strong plus, but maintenance and management need serious improvement.
