Review Summary for 2109 Broadway
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 2109 Broadway highlight its prime location near transit, parks, and amenities, with a quiet, soundproof environment favored by long-term residents. The building's classic pre-war charm combines with full amenities and attentive, friendly staff known for responsive management and helpful doormen. However, pest issues, particularly recurring roach problems, are persistent concerns affecting some units. Noise from nearby Broadway, nightclub deliveries, and occasional construction scaffolding also impact living comfort. Some tenants note challenges with water pressure and occasional flooding. While rent stabilization is limited, most renters still recommend the building for its appealing community atmosphere and convenience, urging improved pest control and maintenance.

Pretty Quiet But Always Cockroaches
Former Tenant
Pros:
I lived here for about 15 years.
It was originally built for musicians, so the units are pretty soundproof. I sometimes heard upstairs neighbors stomp around but usually it's pretty muted. Hallways are very wide and carpeted, so no much noise travels from there, except through the front door when someone is close. It is way quieter than any other new development or anything post-war.
Very nice staff, knew them for 15 years. I have never met building staff that nice and actually willing to help residents. They were very helpful during early Covid. The same people stick around for many years because management treats them well.
Location is very convenient though, pretty much right across from the 1, 2, 3. Many good groceries nearby. Right between two good parks.

Cons:
Serious roach issues. There have always been roaches while I lived there. Sometimes old residents pass away and the unit is discovered in totally infested condition. They come through the drains, etc. I have heard of mouse infestations in the past too, but no personal experience.
Some windows face Broadway, which can be loud. Fairway nighttime delivery trucks on 74th can be loud, and so can Fairway staff in middle of the night (3 AM) when they blast music when working. Beacon Theater crowds and staff can be loud. Live music on the street and staff shouting for tickets. Beacon Theater lights are oppressive - they are on late through the night.
Very difficult to do cheaper renovations. They make it easiest to use the building's contractors who charge a lot for an okay job. They give you a really hard time if you want to use more affordable contractors, by taking long to approve work, making you stop work often for various reasons.

Advice to owner:
Please do better pest control. It is absolutely out of hand.
