414 West 53 Street,

Manhattan, NY 10019

Good location for Hell's Kitchen and Midtown, building is nicely maintained, and the building staff is pretty friendly. Maintenance always responds quickly.

The leasing office is absolutely terrible. They are so hard to get a hold of and are largely unresponsive. Yearly increases are quite steep so you'd only last a year before you're extremely overpaying.

the doormen are amazing and help with everything. roof is stellar + laundry room on site

we had mice + our rent went up 15% year to year

Doorman, clean, laundry in building, no pests

Management is hard to get a hold of and disorganized

Better building property management

Everything has been renovated. Doormen are great. Maintenance is very responsive.

A bit far from subway

Beautiful rooftop, friendly doormen, quick response by management

I had a flex 3 room, and it lacked privacy

N/A; thank you so much!

It’s gives the perception it is very clean and organized

Landlord does nothing for the tenants
Move are running through the lighting fixtures and around the building
Tenants are very disruptive and inconsiderate

Do better. Be responsive to tenants. Address and help if they ask for it

Huge laundry room, massive community roof deck that’s usually not too busy, small but well-maintained gym, very friendly doormen (especially Randy he’s the best!!!!), new and clean spacious rooms ideal for adding flex bedrooms

Management sucks! They are very rude and disorganized. They lied to us about the number of bathrooms in our unit and we didn’t find out until move in. We also still haven’t received our security deposit back yet. They do not have your best interest in mind. They would rather scam you.

Management needs to be improved. They are rude and have lied to us many time.

Doorman, gym, rooftop, laundry

Neighbors can be loud

everything was great

if you dont want a younger crowd this may not be the building for you

Nothing!

Really nice doormen and management (shoutout to William and Sorrel), Incredible rooftop, modern appliances, overall nice neighborhood

Strict guest policy, not much else bad to say about it

Keep doing what you are doing

Things typically work well. Good doormen.

Some issues with hot water lately but have been promptly addressed

I lived here for 2 years. I love the neighborhood and love that it’s not a family building being a student myself. The doormen are really nice and the management is responsive and acts fast.

Had mice in the first months, but called the management who sent the exterminator the morning after and solved the problem. Unfortunately, it happened twice in a few months.

Location, beautiful view from rooftop, doormans are very friendly

Management slacks. Could update and add furniture on rooftop. Only 2 eatinf tables for an entire rooftop? Take better care of the gym, one treadmill has been broken for months and still not repared.

It's an OK first time apartment and has decent amenities. You have laundry in the building, gym, doorman, and a nice rooftop. If it's a flexed unit, rooms will be very tiny though.

Apt 332 had a serious mice issue and it took years before it was resolved. Management was responsive with extermination but not thorough. We finally resolved it after finding holes in once of the ACs. Apparently if you're in the connecting apartment, that's where the issue is. Haven't heard about any pest issues in the first building.

Fix your mouse problem

I really liked the move in and move out process. Very simple. Building lobby was always clean. Loved the rooftop access, especially during covid. Neighbors were quiet. Felt like walls were thick. Maintenance was always fast. Package system was great. Gym was well kept.

The bathroom was odd and we had leaks coming from our unit. We also had a leak from the apartment above us, so really felt like there were major plumbing issues the entire time we lived there. They even had to shut off water a few times for multiple hours of the day. While majority of the doormen are very friendly, there are a few that can seem like they don’t want to help you out with basic tasks.

This building is very clean and modern. There is a very clean laundry room in the building, super fast elevators, and really nice door men! I have loved living here over the past year.

The only cons I have about the building would be that our heater is a little funky and blast hot air sometimes.

The apartments and rooftop are big selling point for this building. The building management and doormen are also super nice and friendly.

The gym is not a real gym, and should not be used as a selling point.

Great rooftop with furniture, very responsive with fixing any issues

None that I can think of

Great building. Lived there for 2 years. Staff is nice and building is clean

Apartments are small for the pics

Friendly doormen, responsive management, and spacious apartments with modern appliances and plenty of room and storage even as a flex! There is also a large shared roof deck, gym, and laundry room. Everyone I have seen follows COVID-19 guidelines without complaint. Having a recycling area and garbage chute on every floor is very convenient.

We did have a slight mouse problem (partially our fault for leaving food out) which we didn’t expect being on the top floor of the building. However, management was extremely responsive and sent someone to take care of it the day after we called. The front door isn’t very soundproof for noise in the hallway (which there is little to none of), but the walls of the apartment itself are thick.

I’d recommend this building!
