    Review Summary for 214 West 109 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 214 West 109 Street commend the building’s prime location in a safe, vibrant neighborhood with good green spaces and quiet surroundings. Tenants generally enjoy friendly neighbors and strong water pressure. However, management responsiveness is frequently criticized, with slow or inadequate handling of maintenance issues such as broken laundry facilities, doorbell malfunctions, and persistent pest problems including roaches and occasional mice. Noise from plumbing has also been noted as disruptive. While the superintendent is praised for helpfulness, renters express dissatisfaction with overall management and pest control efforts, advising improved maintenance responsiveness and more effective pest management.

    Not sure why management has been so much worse past few months?
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location is amazing, incredible neighborhood with lots of amenities, super central and access to lots of green space, I feel safe, even walking late at night
    Cons:
    It seems like out of nowhere management has gotten a lot worse or we’ve just had a lot of bad luck with our apartment. Issues with washer and dryer, doorbell, outlets, and pests (cockroaches) with slow, passive aggressive resolution (or lack thereof) from management

    Not that great
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    You can never hear your neighbors.
    Cons:
    Management does not care about their tenants. There is a huge roach infestation and they do not do anything to help! They spray a treatment that does not work and will also not make arrangements for pest control to come when you are available. The buzzer doesn't work so we had to walk down flights of stairs to let people in. The washer/dryer does not work and they also do not care to fix it.
