Yorkshire Towers at 305 East 86 St,

Manhattan, NY 10028

Doormen are nice, that's about it

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.

Fire Jessica Berns and the entire UES management office and replace them with people who care about the wellbeing of tenants.

The location is good and close to the subway

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.

This building needs serious updates

Building staff were extremely nice and helpful. Apartment was spacious. Package room was convenient. Right next to the Q train entrance.

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.

Door staff so friendly with nice neighbors

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.

Put a real manager in the “management office” to oversee the disgrace that’s currently the face of the building

Location is great

Cleanliness could use some improvement

Drastically improve communication and security.

solid units, friendly doormen, reasonable package room. overall no major complaints.

management is somewhat unresponsive

Proximity to the Q train. Large apartment but they are cutting them all up now.

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.

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.

Responsive maintenance
Nice unit
overall pretty quiet

Building manager
Unit was really gross when we moved in

Wonderful front desk staff and maintenance department

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

Make this building worthy of these ridiculous rents

The building is generally pleasant. Apartments are spacious. Doormen/women are superb. Great package room.

Apartments vary in their level of upgrades, yet you pay the same rent regardless. The office staff is unresponsive and rude.

Treat your tenants better.

Spacious apartments, convenient right next to the Q and responsive management team!

My bathroom ran into a few plumbing / leak issues but management was very on top of fixing it… just took a few tries

The management team is awful I have no pros

The management is AWFUL. The worst experience I have ever had living in nyc. Their negligence made my dog sick and they did not care and it took them over a week to even acknowledge it

Have a little decency? Care about the people paying you thousands of dollars

Very nice concierge

Once you sign the lease it’s incredibly hard to get a response. When I signed (a few years ago) the next day the gas as shut off for the whole building - was not told found out through the NYT article.

Be more responsive.

Washer/dryer room on every floor

Constant renovation of vacated apartments leading to excessive and constant noise

Stop knocking down walls when renovating apartments! Rent them out as is.

Doorman, water pressure, maintenance response time

A/C, management response, a lot of construction, mailroom hours , expensive laundry

Proximity to subway

UES Management’s neglectful, rude and discriminatory behavior is a repeated slap in the face given the rent you’re paying to live in this construction zone, and it will inevitably ruin your living experience at Yorkshire Towers.

Good luck getting anything fixed or moved in without bribing $$ someone.

Building maintenance is frequently unstaffed and/or unavailable for major emergencies such as pipe bursts.

Tenants are weekly screaming at doormen because of safety risks like transients roaming the elevators and hallways due to poor lobby security.

There is extremely high renter turnover due to dis-satisfaction with the building, so expect CONSTANT construction noise on all sides and above and below at all hours of the day starting at 7:30 am and into the evening. (We should have believed all the construction and noise warnings we read on Yelp!!)

Half the tenants moved out during Covid because it is impossible to work from home with the constant drilling- and good luck getting your kids to nap at any time of the day.

Treat your tenants with respect- and take some action to address these complaints that ALL your tenants are providing about these unacceptable living conditions

Doormen are pleasant and helpful, washer and dryer on every floor, convenient for public transportation

There is a large and constant turnover of apartments, and constant noise and dust from the on-going, never ending renovations.

Stop doing renovations on vacant apartments...... just charge lower rents instead of trying to make this a luxury building..

Convenient to subway

Bad apples made it into building
Half renovated and $$$$, the rest not
Noisy hectic lobby

You knew the problems.

The door people and cleaners were very nice.

The management is greedy, low quality repairs, low quality units. They only do 1 year agreements. The cockroaches were out of control.

Perfect location!! Literally right outside of the train.
Love the driveway
The walls are really thick, I’ve never heard my neighbors.
Friendly and helpful building staff
Great gym, pool, sauna
Huge apartments with really nice finishes. Balconies are great.
Lobby smells good like they pump something in (I know it’s weird but it’s actually a nice touch)
Package room has dry cleaning
Never had a problem with management, they’ve been very easy to work with!

Elevators can take a while if you live on a high floor
Food deliveries are left in the lobby (think this is just a COVID thing though)
Building air gets dry in the winter

Hold social events in the back when COVID ends to increase community feel!
