Review Summary for 114 West 86 Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 114 West 86 Street highlight a prime location and supportive, friendly neighbors as strong positives. Apartments are described as spacious and the building features amenities like an elevator and laundry facilities. However, persistent issues overshadow these benefits—management is widely criticized as unresponsive, leading to unresolved maintenance problems including unreliable heating, plumbing concerns, pest infestations, and poor garbage management. Safety worries stem from unsecured entrances and package theft. The building’s physical condition is deteriorated, with long-standing scaffolding and foul odors reported. Renters advise significant investment in maintenance and management to enhance living conditions and security.

Horribly Maintained & Unsafe
Former Tenant
Pros:
The location and the neighbors.
Cons:
It could be trauma bonding, but the neighbors are so kind and supportive of each other. The building is neglected, such as sporadically working washing machines (3 for the whole building with sometimes all 3 being out). The garbage room recently had a rat infestation (they jumped out of the bins) and the mailboxes had cockroaches. The lack of safety has been an increasing worry. The basement access door is always open and the front doors are seldomly locked. In addition to a concern for personal safety (what seem to be drifters show up in the stairwells), there is zero protection of packages. They’re often rifled through or stolen. The building’s cleanliness is also disturbing. There has been a foul lobby smell for at least 8 years, and even looking in the laundry room’s nooks is frightening. It’s all so unfortunate and ultimately, unfair. Given the marketplace rent, bare minimums should be met.
Advice to owner:
Sell the property to someone serious about it!
