5 WEST 86 STREET ASSOCIATES · avg 3.8 ★★★★★ · New York City
“Pros: Great location Friendly doorman Cons: Mice! Little water bugs all over bathroom All things were handled with little urgency”
— 5 WEST 86 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Overall I really love living at 5 W 86th. The building was built in the 30’s and has typical issues but overall it’s great. The staff has been here for almost 20 years and the average tennet has lived here so just as long if not longer so there is a sense of community. Some have lived here for over 50+ years. Cons: We did have a water leak in our ceiling that took several months to fix. The management company is known for being shady and was very unresponsive. They also put up scaffolding without giving us a warning and began exterior renovations without giving us a warning. Weinreb owns another building down the street and they’ve had scaffolding up for over 15 years…”
— 5 WEST 86 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: View, apartment size, proximity to Central Park Cons: Water leak issues, roaches”
— 5 WEST 86 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Location to crosstown bus and subway. Quick walks to the park. Spacious rooms and layouts. Cons: The heat didn’t work the entire time we lived there (several years). Too invasive of a background check for a rental property. Would have been easier to get into a co-op. Advice to landlord: Replace the windows. When replacing the water heater, don’t connect the temporary boiler outside to a tenants gas/electric line.”
