Reviews of 204 West 109 Street

Former tenant·1 hour ago

Wouldn’t rent here

Pros

Quiet, nice neighborhood

Cons

Terrible response times, no heating, leak that caved ceiling in, never received deposit back

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Noise issues make this building completely unlivable

Pros

The location is great, very close to the 1 stop at 110th.

Cons

The building has paper thin floors, and no way of enforcing any sort of quiet hours at all. It's one thing to hear upstairs neighbors when they walk, but in this building the upstairs neighbors can actually rattle the walls they are so loud. It's possible it's just the tenants in 2B, but I'd worry about living below any neighbors here. Also the water is routinely either 80 degrees or 200 degrees. Not possible to take a shower at 9am.

Advice to the owners

Please quiet neighbors who receive noise complaints or enforce a minimum carpeted surface rule in the lease.
