— 118 WEST 114 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: - Location is great. - Cost. For a 3BR this close to the park it's a great price. - New super is super nice and really responsive. Cons: Where to begin! We've had mice issues that we so bad we considered litigation. Water damage. There was a bed bug infestation on the top floor earlier this year. More recently, a jazz band moved into the building. They're pretty good, honestly, but they play alllll the time and walls are thin. Not really an issue for us, but if you WFH I imagine it would be rough. Advice to landlord: New super is great! Talk to tenants about quiet hours, maybe?”
— 118 WEST 114 STREET · Manhattan“Unit 3w Pros: The price is pretty good for the ammount of space, and the tenants in the building are nice and we never have package or noise issues. Cons: The response time for issues is abysmal. It took hours for response to a serious ceiling leak. Sometimes the super won’t even respond. We didn’t have a working buzzer for the first three months there and it took them way longer than promised to install the washer which when they did, broke the dishwasher. Advice to landlord: Response times are the biggest issue for repairs and questions.”

Someone in the building owns a cat and the litter makes the entire hallways smell. There are problems with mice and mosquitoes. The front door and buzzer frequently break. The super is forgetful. There was a bed bug problem on the fourth and fifth floors that still has not been officially reported, there's a drummer who is constantly drumming and a singer who goes out in the halls to sing.”
