DO NOT LIVE HERE
Former Tenant
Pros:
Doormen are nice, that's about it
Cons:
DO NOT LIVE HERE. Jessica Berns from the management office is a WITCH!! She and the entire office do not care about you or your issues in the building. The elevators are always broken. They promise things that never happen. They over charge for apartments. You will regret living here I promise.
Advice to owner:
Fire Jessica Berns and the entire UES management office and replace them with people who care about the wellbeing of tenants.

Not worth the price and they need to fix this elevator situation asap
Former Tenant
Pros:
The location is good and close to the subway
Cons:
The elevator is ALWAYS broken and the elevator wait can be up to 20 minutes sometimes. The A/C barely works and they turn it off way too early. Everything is falling apart and you can tell they used the cheapest materials they could buy. We have this black mold dust in the vents that is absolutely disgusting.
Advice to owner:
This building needs serious updates

Mouse problem that never went away
Former Tenant
Pros:
Building staff were extremely nice and helpful. Apartment was spacious. Package room was convenient. Right next to the Q train entrance.
Cons:
Lived there for 2 years and had a mouse problem almost the entire time. Maintenance came to fill the holes they were coming through multiple times, but they kept getting in. Also saw roaches too regularly for what was advertised as a luxury building.

We moved when they raised our rent 19% ($800) and refused to negotiate. Almost 1 year later and the apartment is still empty.

Unfathomably Horrible Management
Former Tenant
Pros:
Door staff so friendly with nice neighbors
Cons:
The management is manipulative, irrational, unprofessional, withholds information, takes no accountability and flat out lies about rent increases/apartment value to get their way, even when the market comps show otherwise.
Advice to owner:
Put a real manager in the “management office” to oversee the disgrace that’s currently the face of the building

Horrible Managment- NO accoutability
Former Tenant
Pros:
Proximity to the Q train. Large apartment but they are cutting them all up now.
Cons:
Apartment was NOT ready on my move in date, not cleaned and things were broken and stained. Shortly after construction began on 6 other apartments on the floor. All of this so that they could present us with a new lease with a $1000 increase.
Advice to owner:
If you can't earn trust of your tenants in one and bedrooms. Good luck pleasing the tenants of the $18,000 apartments you are all kicking us out for.

Another story of greed
Former Tenant
Pros:
Wonderful front desk staff and maintenance department
Cons:
This dated, dreary building is raising rents at an alarming rate (38% and more) because new buildings are being built all around them. Rugs are worn, hallways are dark and the building is in need of a total renovation
Advice to owner:
Make this building worthy of these ridiculous rents
Over 2 years ago
Generally good building
Former Tenant
Pros:
The building is generally pleasant. Apartments are spacious. Doormen/women are superb. Great package room.
Cons:
Apartments vary in their level of upgrades, yet you pay the same rent regardless. The office staff is unresponsive and rude.
Advice to owner:
Treat your tenants better.
