Good Building / typical issues
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…
Easy Access to Transportation and Markets
Pros
Stores are surrounded by the building so you could easily have access to most things without stressing out
Cons
Loud music during the summer and cops are almost always standing around the block
Advice to the owners
More heat is needed during winter and rent should reduce
