Discussion about 5 West 86th Street in Upper West Side
Positives: Excellent location, next to Central Park, subway, shopping and more. Negatives: Landlord refuses to replace windows, which is beautiful but completely useless - single pane glass and without isolation, hence it's cold inside and space heaters are needed. Elevator is outdated and doesn't have a sensor at the door, so it slams shut on people and kids. Hot water takes forever to come up, so you have to plan accordingly... Such a shame as this could be an amazing place to live.
