Huge rat problem
Pros
Quiet, secure, no issues with mail or packages
Cons
There is a HUGE rat problem on w 109th in the building's surrounding area, since there are constantly piles of trash bags on the sidewalk. Especially at night during the warmer months, you can't walk to the end of the block without passing several large groups there of rats scurrying around. The sink and shower drains also get clogged really easily.
Advice to the owners
Implement a better garbage management system and get rid of the rats
Convenient area, but building can be a nightmare
Pros
Convenience to restaurants, stores, etc. Lots of space in the apartment
Cons
Cockroach infestation, poor response from management, we didn’t have gas for 4 months of living there. Trash outside all the time (leftover from trash day), more rats on the street than any other street, uneven steps, dirty hallways
