Convenient Location and Responsive Landlord
Pros
Good location, quiet neighbors, very low key. Garbage management was very good and the landlord and super were very responsive to any issues. No issues with pests, regular fumigation. Laundry was easy.
Cons
Had issues with my water heater, but the landlord/super was always there to fix it quickly.
Advice to the owners
Might need to replace water heater in unit.
Great, Affordable Property with Honest Management
Pros
My partner and I lived at 82 West 105th for almost two years. We absolutely recommend the building. The landlord was very nice and easy to work with and the super is also really friendly. And the apartments are reasonably priced for the area, unlike many other apartments nearby. The building is extremely quiet; it felt like no one lived there. No shenanigans, mostly chill Columbia students, and the building is built like a tank. We heard our upstairs neighbor maybe twice in the time we lived there. By far quietest building we've ever lived in. The community garden next door is an asset if you're on that side of the building like we were; it's nice to just have an open space outside your window and not directly facing another building. There are tons of really friendly long-time residents who live on this street. I really don't agree with or understand some of the bad reviews for this building. If you don't want to spend a fortune, want to be in UWS and near the park, this place is a perfect option. These are affordable apartments in a quiet building with quiet, safe neighbors. We really had nothing worth mentioning to be upset about.
Cons
There's really nothing important to complain about, we were totally happy living there for a couple years.
