    Nothing horrible but nothing great
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Lots of light and wide windows
    Laundry in-unit
    Garbage disposal on each floor
    Cons:
    Elevator is always broken and the card system is so stupid
    There was a dent on our front door that management failed to fix
    Noise level is very high because the building is right by Times Square
    The surrounding area (Midtown west in general) is so chaotic and smelly
    Advice to owner:
    Visible damages to the property should be promptly fixed, AC and heat are issues
    Over 1 year ago
    Awful building management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Good location and nice views from some apts
    Cons:
    Everything related to management of the building. There is one amazing doorman and everyone else legit suck so
    Advice to owner:
    Fire all your doormen except the amazing Jamaican guy. Find a place for recycling. Fix the issue with the cards in the elevator that happens every single day. Hire people who care.

    Good staff horrible management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Friendly staff, quick elevators, nice views
    Cons:
    The property manager is condescending, dismissive, and unhelpful. The rent is paid to Rezi, which is operated independently from the building. This causes incentives to be misaligned.

    The elevators stopped working on multiple occasions, resulting in having to walk up 35+ flights of stairs but we were still told “the elevators are working” and that we were “the only ones complaining”.

    There has been power drills and hammering for 2 months from 8 am onwards. Working from home is not viable during these times.
    Advice to owner:
    Check the attitude of your management.

    Avoid at all costs
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Spacious layout
    Convenient location
    Cons:
    Building-wide fruit fly infestation that hasn’t been resolved for months
    Multiple water leaks
    Unresponsive management and slow repairs
    All amenities closed
    Main entrance locked since June 2020, so you have to call the doorman every time to let you in
    All amenities closed
    Advice to owner:
    Poor management/ownership has ruined this apartment. Please put at least a tiny bit of effort into trying to make tenants happy.

    Great building, terrible management and maintenance
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The rooms are spacious and modern
    Cons:
    Management is not responsive to maintenance requests and when making repairs will use the cheapest possible way and take the longest amount of time. Lots is follow-up is needed. The owner is 100% unresponsive, and you may get lucky with a 25% response rate from the manager
    Advice to owner:
    Treat your clients with respect and respond to their emails or phone calls
