    Review Summary for 203 West 109 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews for 203 West 109 Street highlight a poorly managed building with unresponsive property managers leading to negligence in repairs and pest control. Tenants have experienced roach infestations, noisy neighbors, and unsatisfactory cleanliness. The building's cheap renovations have resulted in various issues, including high electric bills and bedbugs. Despite some positives like renovated units and natural sunlight, the overall consensus is negative due to the building's poor condition, lack of responsiveness from management, and ongoing maintenance issues. Renters advise a complete renovation, improved pest control, and better responsiveness to tenant concerns.

    Cheaply Renovated Building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The building appeared nice and newly renovated, there was a super and repairmen who regularly worked on the building.
    Cons:
    The building was owned and operated by a large corporation that didn’t care about tenants. They were forcing out long time tenants and cheaply renovating units to charge an insane amount. The cheap renovations led to pests, broken appliances, and astronomical electric bills. None of these issues were handled appropriately.
