Rivergate Apartments at 401 East 34 Street,

Manhattan, NY 10016

Apartments are big and nicely renovated. Good amenities (for a mandatory fee)

Elevators are always out of order and there are not enough to support the amount of people living here, especially considering everyone flexes their apts. there is constantly construction that makes it disruptive to work from home, and reduces access to the roof.

Big apartments, nice amenities, renovated, right by ferry and bus, close to East River

Elevator takes FOREVER, management is slow to respond, far from subway

spacious unit, good closet space

elevators were always broken

Looks nice to a visitor, cool rooftop

Lipstick on a pig.

Great views from rooftop, can’t hear my neighbors, good location near the river and ferry and buses (no subways), good appliances.

Laundry machines don’t always work and elevators were under construction for 2 years.

super quick responses to maintenance requests, great amenities, friendly doormen, love the guys in the package room. never had any sort of pest or bug issue

there's always an elevator that is broken. during busy times (weekday around 6pm) there is often an extremely long line to get to the elevator. other than that everything is great

Roof is nice to have, package room is nice (but closed on Sundays)

Elevators are slow/broken often, laundry machines often broken/not enough of them

Easy - dealing with management, commuting, apartment upkeep, communication if something was broken, etc. amenities also amazing.

Slow elevator, laundry was a frustrating process with some machines not functioning

Be more willing to decrease rent month to month depending on elevator functionality

Has a great rooftop and great views of the river

Elevators are broken a lot , washers and driers not reliable

Invest in better appliances

Nice amenities, not as noisy from outside as you would think with its location, good space

so many issues with water bugs, cockroaches and mice. the building only has an exterminator come on mondays so if you have an issue you wont be seen till then which is unsettling. neighbors can be nosy

Great location and can have some views

If you have a higher floor you’re going to be waiting.

Spacious, gym in the building, natural light and view.

Far from subway. Elevators can be backed up

The apartment itself is fine.

Basically everything else. The management company is terrible, unresponsive and unhelpful and manages *nothing*. They’ve been repairing elevators on the north tower for nearly 2 years leaving 35 floors with only two barely functioning elevators. Even now that it’s “done” they still constantly break down. Most of the people who live here are young and party constantly. There’s been vomit on one of the elevator doors for months and on my hallway wall for over a year. While maintenance comes fast, unless it’s an easy fix they’ll jerk you around. It took months to get our AC fixed and they replaced it 3 times with other non functioning units before we got one that worked. The rent is insane for how crap the amenities are. Also the management office workers park their cars on the sidewalk behind the building and expect security to watch it for them.

New management.

Great starter apartments

distance from subway.
elevators are often out of service.

Fix the elevators?

Nice views. Generally updated interior

Elevators never work and there are 350 units on each side of the building. Mgmt is extremely rude and unresponsive. Package room loses items all the time and is also rude. Gym is closed half the time, roof is also never open…but they charge for all of this

Fire your staff. It’s unacceptable.

-there is always someone at security or at the front desk to help you out
-well maintained

-the apartment is small itself
-the elevators in this building are sooo slow and there always seems to be one in maintenance which adds to the congestion (basically add 5 mins to your commute because of the elevator)

invest in elevators

Updated apartments, maintenance team is responsive

Elevators are horrible - the lines get way too long during rush times can take 10+ mins to even get on one, management isn’t always the best to deal with around leases

Pretty, nice lobby, nice gym, laundry in building, good apartment terrace

Had mice, cockroaches, expensive laundry, dryers did not work all the time

Handle pests better, fix dryers

Nice gym
In front of the ferry pier
Friendly doormen
Very close to hospitals

Slow elevators
Often washers and driers are under repair
Lots of college students and parties

Keep up the gym

If you have no issues with your appliances, no maintenance needed, etc. then it's great.

Slow for maintenance, elevators would be broken 1-2 a month. Leasing office staff aren't nice
