118 W 114th St
Pros
Close to the red line and central park
Cons
REM Management company very unresponsive and uncommunicative. 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.
On the up and up? Maybe?
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 the owners
New super is great! Talk to tenants about quiet hours, maybe?
