    Review Summary for 211 West 109 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 211 West 109 Street in Manhattan highlight consistent issues with cleanliness, pest control, and maintenance delays. Tenants express frustration over frequent roach and rat sightings, as well as poor garbage management. Despite the convenient location near transportation and grocery stores, the building's dated infrastructure, unresponsive management, and ongoing pest problems deter residents from recommending it. Suggestions include aggressive pest control measures, better communication regarding maintenance, and addressing the building's overall cleanliness to improve the living experience for tenants.

    Not worth it for market rate units
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great location, a lot of long time tenants and Columbia students at the building.
    Cons:
    Building looks very aged and run down. Rusting fire escapes on the outside, dimly lit corridors, loose tiles on the stairs, crappy paint job in public areas.

    Major issue with package theft, there are some shitty neighbors in the building who steal with impunity, largely because the landlord refuses to do anything (including cctv footage) unless there is a police report (good luck getting that from the NYPD).

    Our apartment has a roach issue despite our best efforts to keep it clean. Landlord won’t do anything about it beyond sporadic ‘pest control’ efforts.

    Our dishwasher has been broken for over three months.

    Hot water is barely available.

    Our living room heat baseboard was not functional for months, nor was our intercom.
    Advice to owner:
    Stop being a slumlord!
