- beautiful location right next to Broadway and the 110th subway stop
- doesn’t get too loud at night
- mostly older people, families, and Columbia students
Cons:
- management and maintenance is horrible; took them over a month to fix maintenance requests multiple times
- management does not care about resident’s concerns; all they care about is $$$
- this part of W 109th St in particular is infested with RATS. The whole street to the stoops are filled with them. You will hear people screaming out on the street at night as they try to walk through all the rats running on the sidewalk
- a children’s playground is across the street, you will hear them screaming and playing all morning and afternoon during weekdays

Advice to owner:
Care about your residents. I doubt you will as you’re a corporate owner, but pretend to care just a little about cleanliness, price, and maintenance.
