339 West 20 Street,

Manhattan, NY 10011

It’s a small building with quiet neighbors who keep to themselves.

Pest control comes monthly, but the building has a cockroach problem. Trash is also right adjacent to the entrance, meaning you often see rats when entering at night. Homeless people have gained access to the building multiple times and the landlord has taken no action after being notified of the security problem. Insulation is poor so my apartment is freezing cold in the winter, and space heaters are not allowed making it unlivable. Landlord also collects all 12 rent checks upfront but deposits monthly

The street this apt is on is so cute.

The back of this building faces a school, so children can be heard shouting on the playground all day long, even with the windows closed. It was difficult to work from home. The gas malfunctioned twice in the middle of winter, it was absolutely freezing in the apartment for days in a row. The electrical wiring is not in good shape. Lights flicker regularly, especially when I use the microwave. Two or three times there have been homeless people hanging out in the vestibule of our building. The trash is not locked so non residents go through the trash and make a mess on the sidewalk in front of the building. The walls are also a bit thin, I heard my upstairs neighbor's activities at times. The hot water is occasionally what seems like boiling hot too.
