Nothing horrible but nothing great
Former Tenant

Laundry in-unit
Garbage disposal on each floor
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

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.

Check the attitude of your management.

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
