Worst Management Company and Responsiveness of Maintenance

Former Tenant

Pros:

The building appears to look nice but don't be fooled - it is run by a bunch of clowns

Cons:

I am shocked by the horrible support and response of this building- the building manager Frank does not take any ownership of issues. the maintenance staff says they will take care of issues and doesnt follow-up - the property manager is rude- and there are significant issues in this building- the ac broke for a month in the summer, they take half measures to deal with rodent issues- they allow for pipes to burst - the carpets are filthy and there are significant indifference to treating tenants with respect they deserve with high rent prices. Also they advertise that they have a courtyard that has not been open in more than 20+ years bc they are too cheap to fix the outside. They purely do not have decency, care or respect for safety of their tenants. DO NOT RENT HERE

Advice to owner:

Take a good look at your management staff- they allow for issues to burst - literally and figuratively and they are running your building to the ground.

Prepare for a hot summer

Former Tenant

Pros:

The doormen are amazing - probably only plus

Cons:

Beware: there is no air conditioning in this building and window units are not allowed. Extremely expensive rent - roof deck was closed for years before finally opening and now only open 9am-9pm. Air conditioning doesn’t work with no end in sight at it being fixed

Advice to owner:

Fix the air conditioning

Good place to live but needs improvements

Former Tenant

Pros:

The location cannot be beaten. The doormen and most of the staff are very nice. The apartments are spacious and have great storage space. The gym is small but good to have it. It’s safe and neighbors are usually nice.

Cons:

The lobby is beautiful but the common areas are run down, especially the carpeting needs to be changed or at least thoroughly washed and the gym machines are getting old. It’s a big building so maintenance is not always responsive and needs to be chased down.

Advice to owner:

Change the carpet in the common areas and keep it clean

Clean building with good noise insulation, no rent control

Former Tenant

Pros:

Clean, no pests, great noise insulation, good sized apartments, responsive staff. Many of the doormen are very nice.

Cons:

Rent increases by management are tough to swallow, but they are in line with this insane market

Loud street noise

Former Tenant

Pros:

Great doormen, clean building

Cons:

The noise levels are so loud. Street noise sounds like you’re right next to it. You can hear every honk. This building is close to the queensboro bridge so there’s a lot of traffic/honking. If you have loud neighbors, you’ll hear them too. Paper thin walls and windows

Very nice place

Former Tenant

Pros:

Everything was really nice about this place. It was clean, super quiet, heat and AC worked great. Not much to complain about.

Cons:

The only bad thing that happened at this place was that my dishwasher broke a few months before moving out, and they never repaired it. This was after I put in multiple tickets.
