— 111 WADSWORTH AVENUE · Manhattan“Unit 25K Pros: Easy to get to, cute location, decent apartment, decent space. Cons: Bugs. Were. Everywhere. On every wall that connected to another apartment, there were an unreasonable amount of bugs. We did not feel comfortable cooking in our kitchen, and barely even felt comfortable to shower/bathe. To have the amount of space we did (which was about 1000 sq ft for a 3 bd 2 ba) the walls were literally an inch and a half thick. The walls where there were windows were just drywall on top of the brick (you can't hang anything up). There is literally zero light in any of the bedrooms, or the living room. The ONLY overhead lighting was in the kitchen area and the bathrooms. And the circuit breaker was behind the fridge. Advice to landlord: Provide better pest control, put lighting in all the rooms, and make sure that the circuit breaker is ALWAYS accessible.”
— 111 WADSWORTH AVENUE · Manhattan“Unit 25p Pros: Hot water and wat pressure in the building are great. The laundry in building is a plus as well. Cons: The noise in the building is a lot. Either from the street or the neighbors, there is music blasting at all hours. There are also a lot of roach and mice issues. You’ll find that smoke seeps into the apartment if your neighbors are smokers as well. Advice to landlord: Address the tenants who continue to break the lease agreement.”
— 1360 ST NICHOLAS AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: Maintenance team was always super friendly and helpful Cons: Doorman/ security guard are very rude sometimes Advice to landlord: Do a better job hiring security guards”
— 111 WADSWORTH AVENUE · Manhattan“Unit 30K Pros: Beautifully renovated apartments. Private balconies with gorgeous views. Huge bedrooms and living rooms. New appliances in kitchen. Cons: Lots of cockroaches. Security let’s strangers into building. Neighbors are loud and not respectful. Water will get shut off without warning. Tenant doesn’t control the heat and sometimes the building will turn the heat off when it’s still freezing outside. Feels unsafe in neighborhood. Feels unsafe on apartment floor because strangers are hanging out in hallway. Advice to landlord: Tighter security needed to access building. Better communication with tenants about repairs. Rents are too high for what you give.”
— 111 WADSWORTH AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: This apartment building if you’re lucky enough to get one with a balcony on a high floor it’s fabulous what I love the most about this building is utilities are included and it’s very accessible to the highway if you drive in mass transit Cons: be unfortunate part of this building is regardless of whether you’re on the first floor or the 32nd floor it situated on top of interstate 95 and during the day it can be quite noisy with all of the traffic as well as sirens and just people blowing their horn but after living in the building for a month or so that background noise you barely hear especially if you keep your windows closed also unfortunately there is a cockroach problem however if you reach out to management via the renters app on Sundays pest control Des come early in the morning and you have to stay on top of that as far as having them come to visit every week but it is New York Advice to landlord: use a stronger pest control agent to control the cockroach population”
— 111 WADSWORTH AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: Elevator, Water Pressure, New Flooring Cons: Cockroaches, people sleeping in hallways, non-responsive management/supers”
— 111 WADSWORTH AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: Very spacious apartment with new renovations. Cons: Management was not very responsive”
— 111 WADSWORTH AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: Cheap, utilities included. Rent stabilized Cons: Loud, thoughtless neighbors. Bad management. Messy hallways with trash everywhere. The entire building has roaches.”
— 111 WADSWORTH AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: Overall I like it. I would avoid the East side facing apts as they are very noisy because of the highway. Specialy in the summer with the windows open. The neighbors are kind they are mostly friendly families that say hi to eachother. The staff is friendly they keep it clean and take care of the garbage. The elevators can get annoying Specialy when 2 crash and we are stuck with one for weeks. Regarding Covid this management should be ashamed. They did nothing at all during the whole beginning part of the pandemic and the entire building got sick. No one was wearing masks elevators were stuffed with people. No one cared. As if anyone was not watching the news. When I mentioned to a teen to wear a mask he got angry with me. Cons: There are heroine addicts going in and out of the building they are going to an apartment where they get their drug. The other day my roommate was in the elevator with a group of teen boys. A gun fell on the floor. The teens told my roommate, we will remember your face. You didn’t see anything. In the winter the heat gets hot so we have the windows open. The noise from the street is pretty loud. The elevators sometimes are out for weeks in a row. With the whole building stuck with one stuffed super speeder elevator. Advice to landlord: You want to charge high prices to people moving here and make it look fancy. But safety is key. If we don’t feel safe here what’s the point of living here. Having guys with guns in the elevator is very scary. Heroïne addicts on their way to apartments to get their drug is also not great. All of this can be solved by tight security. Most of the guard now just have conversations with their friends. Also your Covid sighs 9 months to late don’t work. People stuff the elevators.”
— 111 WADSWORTH AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: Rent was cheap and utilities were included. Apartment was recently renovated. Cons: Neighbors played loud music and moved furniture 24 hours a day. Did not respond to requests to stop. Building has a never ending roach infestation. Building management is apathetic and rude. Lacks urgency. Will not return calls or emails but will harass you if they need to get in touch about something. Tenants in building make messes in the laundry room and take carts to their apartments. Hot water was out frequently. Advice to landlord: Burn the building down and start over”
— 111 WADSWORTH AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: Newly renovated apartment Cons: Small garbage disposal. Front doors are always open, doesn’t feel safe even with a security guard sitting there all day, who are usually always sleeping. Advice to landlord: Work on having actual security in the building. Fix your garbage disposal so people can stop leaving it outside of the disposal which bring rodents into apartments.”
