Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of 147 West 86 Street reflect a building with a prime Upper West Side location and friendly neighbors, which many tenants appreciate. However, renters consistently report issues with the aging infrastructure, including pest infestations (roaches and mice), collapsing ceilings, malfunctioning doors, and outdated interiors. While some maintenance requests are handled timely, the overall building preservation is lacking, with management perceived as neglectful by several tenants. Water pressure varies and heating problems persist. The combination of charm and community is overshadowed by the need for significant renovations and improved building upkeep to enhance tenant comfort and satisfaction.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Old building, management does not care about the building

Pros

Good location and the neighbors are nice.

Cons

The building's doors do not work. Management only does patchwork on problems in the building. There are pests, roaches, and the building is falling apart.

Advice to the owners

Steer clear of this building. They clearly do not care about maintaining it, and it is not worth the hassle.

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Very old building. Incredible location

Pros

Location. This is my favorite block on the upper west side. I never want to leave.

Cons

We have had collapsed ceilings in multiple locations in the apartment. While things were addressed in a timely manner, the integrity of the building is falling apart.
