Close proximity to subway, shops, restaurants

Mice problem. Management’s attitude about mice problem. Biggest issue is the noise coming from the playground next to the building. From 6pm - 10pm EVERY night there is a basketball game with an announcer calling play by plays. After the game is over, neighborhood kids come into the park and play music until 1:00 am. It’s unbearable.

When showing apartments, be upfront about the noise level at night.

Constantly repainting halls and good package security

SO loud whether it’s neighbors or outside. Two treadmills in the gym that never work and have been broken for over 8 months and not fixed. Elevator breaks about once a week

It’s quiet and I’ve never seen a roach.

It’s super tiny and doesn’t have an actual kitchen. Just kitchen parts shoved around the small living room space.

The general location was great.

Management were imbeciles.
In the one year there. My apartment was randomly walked into by workers who got the wrong apartment while on a zoom. Idiots working on the roof blocked the vent causing sewage to backup flooding my apartment. They were only conserned about their floor, and refused to compensate my damages. Toilet had a water restrictor on it not allowing it to flush properly and clogging it. Had to complain and have maintenance over 3 times over one and a half months to fix it bc they refused to do what I said was the problem which was removed the restrictor. They ended up doing it and it worked. I was asked to tip by the front desk... Like wtf I pay rent. Initially the doorknobs broken and had to be fixed. Also too multiple requests for them to get it right. Floor was unfinished. All rough an impossible to mop without tearing the mop. Insisted that it was done properly. Rat chewed through my internet cable in the basement and only thanks to the exceptional version guy who cleaned that up and fixed it without charging me (the one time I was actually very happy with my isp) did I get internet back several days later. Tile grout started crumbling in the bathroom. Wasn't even aware that was possible....
Numerous other issues to but I have definitely ranted enough. They really should go bankrupt, those disgrace of human beings. Probably jail too, definitely some laws broken.

fire everyone and reevaluate yourself

Close to work

There’s rats, cockroaches, and mice in the entire building. They are up my clothes. When I told maintenance they took over a week to help and did nothing about my destroyed property. Elevator’s work once in a blue moon. This used to be a rent control building but they got a new elevator and started calling it luxury to upcharge us. Avoid at all costs

Lower the rent or fix the damn building this is insane

Clean building with working elevators (like 90% of the time) and responsive management. The laundry in the basement works well. Quiet building with neighbors who are all recent college graduates or current students. There's also a great package room.

Sometimes you hear the children screaming at the park next door. The place is tiny and older, not worth the hefty price tag with recent inflation hikes.

Lower the prices to COVID rates and stop pricing out your current tenants!

-in-building laundry (although the machines could use an upgrade—for $3 a load, I wish I wouldn’t have to put my clothes through the dryer multiple times every wash and have to take care to avoid certain “wonky” machines!)
-concierge mail service (don’t have to worry about packages getting lost/stolen!)
-prompt action by management about any problems (emergency maintenance requests, etc.)

At least for the time being, it seems to be mostly off-campus housing for Juilliard and/or Fordham students? Neighbors are very young (college kids) and every weekend, there are multiple parties with loud music, yelling, etc. making it hard to sleep. If you’re looking to live here as an adult professional, you will be the odd person out. Not necessarily a bad thing, if you’re okay with it, but worth knowing ahead of time. Most likely would have affected our choice to live here had we known—it’s a lot of money to pay to live in what feels like a college dorm!

Close to great shopping and Central Park.

Poor insulation in the walls. You can hear people from across the hall sneezing in there apartment so just imagine what else you’ll hear. You can also hear footsteps back and forth across the hardwood floors…thud, thud, thud.

Close to work

The apartments are tiny; could hear every foot step the upstairs neighbors made
