43 Wall St,

Manhattan, NY 10005

location location location! front desk and doormen are always so welcoming. apartments are spacious and modern. amenities are no extra charge- gym with sauna, home theatre, work area, pool tables, rooftop. some reviewers say the students run wild - this has not been my experience. every interaction has been respectful. i live on a higher floor so i do not hear any noise from their dorms which are only on one lower floor. tenants are primarily younger singles and couples and everyone is friendly.

laundry room can be a bit of a pain depending on time of day and could be better maintained.

Great location! The unit was an okay size for the price.
The staff onsite are great, although it's a shame there aren't more.

There are floors which are leased to students, which are treated like frat houses. Parties/smoking/drinking/noise are all common. Due to the way the ventilation in the building is setup, you end up getting noise (and smoke) from these units even if on different floors. Complaints about these parties fall on deaf ears and nothing changes.
Plan on waiting for a while for the elevators. There aren't enough for the building and some are often down for maintainance.

I loved the free amenity spaces,

The doormen do not call up

Please have doormen call when someone/delivery is coming up. Otherwise what is the point of a doorman?

I liked the responsiveness of the handyman when I ran into issues my plumbing. The doormen / front desk attendants are really nice and attentive.

The laundry room was nice but it was not maintained frequently. Towards the end of my lease, the pet-side's washer and dryers were not working properly. When getting my packages, I would run into issues where my packages were labeled as other tenants', or there would be confusion if it was picked up or not.

Good amenities and friendly staff.

Water cockroaches in the kitchen. We tried everything to get rid of them but they were the small ones and just couldn’t.

Better pest control

Nice building. Nice amenities. Nice doormen. Nice finishes. Close to subways. Feels very safe in neighborhood

Not main cons. It’s honestly a lovely place. I’m sad to move out

Location was perfect!

The students! Some floors are basically just frat houses, also the vents are all connected so you hear the noise and get the smoke from a lot of other units.

Staff onsite were great but management seemed to be lacking.

New. Great amenities. Good floor plans on Wall Street lines. Frank Nagy is an excellent super

Interior lines can be dark

Keep the maintenance up

Nice doormen and new appliances

Brand new apartment did not have fully done finishing (paint was done half assly, moldings loose)

Renovations during winter not summer

Maintenance staff is Great
Repairs done professionally
Movie Room
Ping Pong Table
Roof access

What they DON’T Tell you:

37 Wall has 6 floors designated as a high school dorm room to Uber wealthy 14-17 year old euro kids for Lehman School. They jam up the elevators constantly while “floor surfing” and cause long waits in lobby for the elevator when you get back home from work. A nuisance. Long waits to get to and from lobby.

Building management is dishonest and the owner of the building was found guilty of racketeering. During 2020 pandemic they were offering new tenants gigantic rent deals (far below market rates) while at same time RAISING the rent for the long time tenants. Several tenants raised concerns with management (Garden Homes) and were ignored/ghosted while management continued to offer 3 and 6 months FREE rent to new renters to fill the half empty building. Zero loyalty to long time tenants.

Gym/Fitness Center: On Saturday & Sunday — when tenants are off from work — they close the gym early at 2pm which is ridiculous. This is a post pandemic thing when the gym had limited hours. The pandemic is over yet they continue these lazy hours. If you want to sleep in on the weekends and then work out it’s not happening. They used to be open until 8 on the weekends.

Late Fees: Beverly Hills style late fees of $100 if you’re even a day late on rent.

Rooftop: they close the rooftop earlier than any luxury building in the financial district — at 10pm. This isn’t college. Tenants pay a lot of money and should be able to enjoy the amenities until a reasonable time. At 10pm, 37 Wall Street staff come and do a “sweep” and kick everyone off the roof.

Neighbors are LOUD: Management allows groups of 20-year-olds to turn units into mega dwellings with dividers everywhere. Loud parties are common place and the walls are super thin. If you don’t mind the sound of deep base music rattling your walls while you try to sleep then you will be fine.

37 Weed Street: numerous tenants smoke marijuana in their apartments without opening their windows so it is common place to walk down the hallways and smell marijuana smoke which goes under your door and you are forced to smell it also. Management will not do anything about it.

MOLD: The building has a very bad history with mold infestation. It is airborne mold and water mold. This is a constant ongoing problem with numerous units.

Repeat your tenants.

Good doorman and amenities though they restrict numbers of guest and no drinking allowed. Great subway options all nearby. Fast response on any fixes needed.

Not clean, dust bunnies in hallways, stairs, corners in hallways, loud with high level of young students/adults.

More Cleaning would be nice.

Management is fast, always someone there to fix something.

Price, slow elevator

High ceilings, close to all subways

Lack of outdoor space

Add grills on the roof

Great amenities (gym, lounge area, dry cleaning in-building)
Public transportation options nearby

Location (not the greatest spot for younger adults)

Amazing door men and staff

Prep kids live in the building and can be loud

The roof is amazing

Plumbing and shower issues

Doormen, location, overall safety

Slow elevators, school inside, theft

Allowing delivery people to come up to the apartment door allows for theft

Lounge, relatively quiet,

Doormen, hallways, walls shake if door is slammed

Not secure. Anyone can walk in

- Super friendly and helpful staff
- they fixed every request (i.e. snaking a drain, broken AC unit, etc) within 24 hours
- Mail is safe and quickly organized
- electronic keys

- the roof access is limited and the roof itself is not very built out
- the building itself is a bit old and outdated

N/a

The only positive I have is Friendly staff.

Would not recommend! Elevators constantly breaking down, don’t respond to emails, shut off water without warning, don’t fix issues you report through their platform.

Answer your tenants emails, Give assistance during a pandemic, don’t charge full price for amenities when you don’t offer them.

Nice building in good location. Convenient laundry valet service. Friendly staff.

Dark apt with zero natural light. Hallways need updating.

Update the look of the floors/hallways. Keep a doorman at the door during late night hours.

Clean and friendly staff

My apartment had no natural light

All services are great - friendly staff, doorman, very close to 2, 3, 4, 6, J, and Z

Hallways stink a little bit and look outdated, but the units look good

Doorman, good gym/pool table area in non Covid

No major complaints

Cheaper rent

Amazing doormen and super.
I lived here for two years and loved them. They always came through when I needed anything.

The facilities and many of the apartments are dark. The facilities such as the gym, movie theater, and lounge are extremely dark and have strict rules. No eating or drinking in the lounge. It’s awkwardly quiet in the lounge and gym. You are only allowed two guests in the lounge. Therefore, you can’t have a good time in the facilities since you’ll be scolded by the attendant if you make any noise louder than a whisper. In a lounge you should feel comfortable to drink a glass of wine while reading a good book, but no beverages allowed.

I also had a huge water leak while living here the second year. The building made it right though by paying for a hotel for the week while repairs were made.

Improve the lounge and its management. Improve the roof.
