    Review Summary for 225 West 109 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenants emphasize the building's prime location near parks and transportation. However, the prevalent issues include severe pest problems, unresponsive management, and cleanliness concerns like rat infestation and garbage mismanagement. Renters stress the urgent need for proactive pest control measures, better maintenance practices, and improved communication with management. Despite some positive aspects like neighborly interactions and effective water pressure, the consensus leans towards dissatisfaction and caution for potential renters.

    Horrific Management and Roaches
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Proximity to parks and trains
    Cons:
    Roaches. So many roaches. Unresponsive management. We had a hole in the ceiling for 2 months
    Advice to owner:
    Actually respond fix things when your tenants call. (Waiting 3 months to get roaches taken care of is ridiculous)

    HORRIBLE! BEWARE! DON’T DO IT
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    I loved the neighborhood and it was fun being near delicious restaurants.
    Cons:
    BUGS that they did nothing to get rid of. CRAZY RATS in front of the building. Incredibly unresponsive management. I left my unit covered in bites from carpet beetles
