Nice Building, Bad Location
Former Tenant
Pros:
Rooftop was awesome, sound system great, elevators, gym, doormen
Cons:
Not a great block, and the price was expensive given the location/space

Great building with friendly staff
Former Tenant
Pros:
It's a very pleasant place to live and the doormen are especially friendly. The building is overall clean and the floor to ceiling windows really make it a happier place to live. Whenever I had a maintenance issue, they were quick to resolve it.
Cons:
The location of the building isn't ideal since their tend to be a lot of homeless folks on the street. While they're usually just living their own lives too, it can make walking home in the evenings sketchy. Additionally the building itself could do a slightly better job of keeping the trash rooms clean, or adding bins to the trash rooms. they would often get backed up and smelly

Overall it’s nice
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great rooftop views Waterfall at the entrance Nice front door/concierge team Young professionals
Cons:
Small lobby Repeated elevator issues Reporting a gym equipment issue or complaint goes unresolved Smog and noise pollution. 37th street is bumper to bumper traffic going west Lots of new hotels on the same street so more tourists than usual Dispensary of some kind on this street and 8th Ave A growing number of homeless hanging around
“On June 2022, at around 3 a.m., two unidentified men approached a 44-year-old man around 8th Ave. and West 37 St. and started beating up the victim.
The thieves then took the victim’s wallet and his Rolex watch worth $30,000 and fled the scene”

Building=Marginal; Management=Insufferable
Former Tenant
Pros:
New(ish), Convenient location (sorta), Building Staff- inconsistently adequate.
Cons:
The property manager and off-site support team are inept, unresponsive, indecisive, and overall laughably incompetent.
Advice to owner:
To the owner: Rid yourself of stupid Arine Gebian and Lorraine Pacheco. If you are lucky enough to interact, they seemingly lack the awareness of the concept of following-up. Both are equally unpleasant, unprofessional, dismissive, and downright rude. It will be unsurprising if they are both the same person.

Townsend Review Process
Former Tenant
Pros:
Best doormen ever!
Cons:
We re-signed our lease right before COVID. Half my roommates lost their jobs and we had difficult paying rent but the management gave us no concessions. Our apt was listed for $2k less after we left.

37th street Townsend Reivew
Former Tenant
Pros:
~Room sizes are big enough for a queen-full and a full size desk. ~water pressure is great and included in rent ~building staff is very friendly and creates a safe environment ~ repairs and any issue with apt is dealt with within 24hours ~location close to a lot of great food options ~location close to penn station and port authority. 10min walk ~building allows pets ~building allows flexwalls ~kitchen appliances are all stainless and work great ~in unit washer/ dryer option
Cons:
~a lot of homeless on the street while walking to the east side. Though they are harmless makes it hard to walk. ~traffic on 37th street can get annoying living on the lower levels ~fire trucks/ambulance can be heard daily and even at night ~rent is a little high. Best to try to split with roommates, unless you can afford. ~washer/dryer in unit is a little older in my unit so maintenance is called about every 1.5 months for fix
