230 East 30 Street,

Manhattan, NY 10016

I lived here for 1 year. George the super was great and responsive!

The only con about this building was a lot of package theft. the packages are left in the lobby.

Get a package room or locked room

Amazing location, updated appliances and beautiful bathroom

Small when flexed, no overhead light

Solid location with basic amenities. Walking distance from restaurants, bars, Trader Joe’s. George the super is really responsive. Overall a good place to start if you’ve just moved to NYC and don’t mind making the trade-off of space/amenities for convenience.

We had a rodent issue that was resolved relatively quickly. No package organization - literally everything gets dumped in a pile in the mail room - resulting in package theft.

It’s a solid building with two elevators, laundry in basement, and virtual building access

Construction has been going on for a while and not sure when it will end. Also packages are regularly stolen, but that’s normal

Figure something out for stolen packages, doesn’t have to be anything too elaborate

-Clean building
-Good water pressure

-Packages stolen
-Very hot

Like the building, lots of young people, good location

Briefly had mice, no window in living room

Centrally located in great neighborhood

Massive rent hikes

Pretty clean, decent amenities, lots of sunlight

Building had one or two break-ins or attempted break-ins

Nighttime doorman/security

new kitchen and and bathrooms

separate heating for two bed rooms. Other room was cold

nothing

Laundry in building, recently renovated kitchens and bathrooms, elevator

Some bedrooms do not get AC or heat, reoccurring target for break ins and robberies, mice, unresponsive and unhelpful management

Care more about the tenants

George is a great super! He’s very responsive and friendly. The overall building is a great place and so is the neighborhood.

If anything the laundry facilities could be a little neater but they’re not dirty.

The superintendent George is the BEST
The laundry room is convenient; 24/7; noise not bothering anyone

It's Kips Bay so lots of 20-somethings and very noisy
Pain in the ass getting my rental deposit back; took months possibly due to change in personnel and me falling through the cracks but I had to email and call many times

I was there from July 2019 to March 2020. The super was responsive for requests. The building made move-out during Covid fairly easy. AC worked fine. Location is convenient. Electronic rental payments.

Poorly/yellow lit hallways. Laundry was a bit of a coin toss as always is the case with having laundry in the building - many tenants and few machines meant stuff constantly getting chucked out of the washer right after it beeps, by someone else who was waiting. At one point the kitchen was renovated over a period of several days leaving the kitchen completely barren and useless, we probably should've been compensated for that in some way. Massive unreasonable security deposit of 3 months rent, I couldn't believe between the 3 of us as roommates we had to pay 15k security deposit, though we got it all back after move out. Note: if you have not seen the article about the psycho posing as a delivery man who assaulted a poor woman who lived in this building, you should look it up.

Install better security system / camera buzzers

Updated kitchen and bathroom
Laundry in building

Management will not answer.
There have been some safety issues in the building and when I emailed them about additional safety measures, they didn’t answer

Super clean, easy trash removal and laundry

Can get noisy depending on the floor, central heating so can get really hot

Turn down the central heating

Well managed building. Good, responsive live-in super. Frequently update amenities (kitchen, bathroom, windows all updated over 3 years)

Elevators were slow. Packages were just thrown in lobby & sometimes stolen. Younger & louder tenets

Very responsive & helpful. Diligently updated building

location, elevator, laundry in basement, renovated kitchen + bathroom

paper thin walls, lots of package theft, building management doesn't inform residents about crime in the building

just be more transparent with your residents

The building was ok. A decent first apartment in New York. The street was quiet and close to Trader Joe’s and Target.

We had pest problems with roaches and struggled with responsiveness from the management company.

Super is very reliable

Walls are slim and flex bedrooms are not built well

Convenient location
Lots of light in the apartment
Good layout of apartment

Only one super for a large building
Laundry is in basement shared with public parking garage
