    239 West 116th
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Good size apartment
    Cons:
    unresponsive landlord and management, huge pest issues and trash issues
    Over 2 years ago
    Stay away from this building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    There’s nothing positive.
    Cons:
    the property managers don’t care about the tenants and don’t take care of the building. Drug dealers who don’t even live in the building sell next to the mailboxes, they have keys and keep the building door open so there’s barely any security. The floors are nasty, the elevator is disgusting.

    Poorly Maintained and Lots of Noise with Rats at Night
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    High Ceilings
    Bagel Shop Nearby
    Cons:
    Shooting of 4 people on 9/27/2022. Gunmen still at large.
    Dirty Trash Area that feeds hundreds of RATS
    Common Areas Aren’t Cleaned
    Building Poorly Maintained
    No regular exterminator visiting the building.
    Zero to Minimum Heat in Winter Months
    Lots of Outside Noise
    Management company doesn’t pay ConEd
    Advice to owner:
    Put lids on the trash cans so rats can’t eat the trash. Clean and Maintain the Building. Pay the ConEd Bill.
