- super can be rude
- prices are incredibly high and rent increase is always over 20% (mine doubled from one year to the next)
- management office NEVER responds unless you either send 20 emails or show up to their office. But you can call th
- the apartments that face the huge carry tunnel is really loud at times epsecially during construction
- battery park is under heavy construction so no longer easy access to the park across the street

Lower the prices and have better communication

-main con is not really the buildings fault but there is construction right across the street in battery park that is going to be a multi year project it seems. Some of the work gets done from 10pm-4am including jackhammering and very loud sawing/welding sounds. Not for light sleepers lol

-rooftop is only open a few months a year and has super strict rules
-service elevator lets out into an underground parking garage versus street level which can make moving in/out more difficult.

Clean and good doormen

Slow and sometimes elevators broken

the management staff was always very helpful/friendly in whatever issues i ran into at the building. the luxury amenities are also a huge plus that i loved at this apartment and the building is maintained clean.

the rent pricing is high luxury building price so don’t expect it to be affordable

The building is well kept, some of the units have amazing light & views but it really depends on which unit it has.

They don't care about keeping good tenamts, just jacking up rent. There's intense NIGHT (8pm to past midnight) construction that you can hear on the south side of the building. Kiss your sleep goodbye. Doormen constantly rotate and they don't actually check who's going up. Laundry machines are frequently out of order.

some good layouts that get good light

very poor overall

take cleanliness and renovations more seriously

great doormen, very pet friendly, good location, generally clean and well managed. negotiable rent

Management is not great at responding to issues. we had a pretty major problem that needed resolving and the management didn’t contact us or respond to us at all. only information we got was from doormen and maintenance people. sometime packages are poorly managed, but usually fine.

Beautiful building - historic NYC location

too many people are living here and it feels like the elevators never worked

- Roof is great

management is difficult to get a hold of

It’s a landmark building with gorgeous Hudson River views from certain apts.

Elevators would break down quite often.

It’d be great if there a gym at this building

Big windows/views
Updated kitchen
Central AC/heat

Pet friendly

Management was incredibly greedy- raised my rent an exorbitant amount after my first year of living there. Additionally they charged me a huge fee for normal/expected wear and tear from mounting a TV.

Doormen were not helpful and didn’t know my name or my apartment number despite having lived there for over a year.

Washer/dryer were very expensive and often didn’t work

Rooftop closed early

Elevators were frequently broken leading to having to wait upwards of 10 minutes to get up to my apartment.

Could easily hear into my neighbors apartment and into the hallway

Gym was out dated

Many young students in the building throwing parties

Make your currents happy so you don’t have people moving in and out all of the time.

Beautiful lobby. Amazing views. Modern appliances. Laundry. Roofdeck. Gym. Connection App. Attentive maintenance and staff such as Valet and Concierge. Great Location. Pet friendly. Online rent payments

Carpentry finishes could be more polished. The hallways need to be vacuumed more frequently. Old gym equipment.

Open mailroom for longer access to packages

nice doormen and lobby

dirty common areas, garbage rooms always overfilled

Building was in perfect state, clean, laundry in each floor., always somebody (very polite) in front desk

The package room was closed randomly, and the person in charge was not very polite, specially with people who didn't speak english fluently.

Nice doormen, great location, lots of trains, they vacuum and upkeep each floor, big windows and large closets

Gym sucks, mail room has crappy hours, management will blatantly ignore you and won’t answer the phone

Have management call tenants instead of talking through complicated situations over email

Responsive maintenance team to requests, friendly staff

Management group managed the building poorly and set false expectations to tenants about using certain amenities, like the closing of our roof for a whole year without any compensation. Furthermore, management group egregiously priced out multiple tenants in this building and their other West Street building they manage

Nice lobby, free gym on the 19th floor, big rooms, enough storage space, fully functional // well equiped kitchen

Small dark halls

it's pet-friendly, right across from battery park and from the west side bike path which was my favorite, nice views and roof deck

The gym was not the cleanest and closed at 10pm. Management did not disclose flex walls could only be 10' high before we signed the lease.

Be more transparent before applicants get to the lease signing process

New interior finish

Elevators commonly went out and seemed kind of dangerous

Nice building, relatively cheap

apartment flooded and took months to get any type of help or reimbursement

actually help the problem, dont just try to push it down

Valet & doorman
Very very very very clean
Apartments were all similar and newly renovated
Best rooftop in the city- when open
Nice finishes

Gym had a lot of machines broken
Just so high priced for a basic apartment

The view is amazing

No lounge area for study.
Gym small

Upon visiting I loved the modernness of the elevators and each floor was very clean

The lobby felt like it didn’t match the rest of the floors’ design

N/A

Views, renovated bathrooms, elevators and shared spaces, nice doormen

Old appliances, scaffolding everywhere

NA

Love the roof, super is fast and helps to fix things easily.

Management is not very responsive

More flexibility

The gym and roof deck and lobby are nice

Management is brutal. There were extensive leaks and mold issues that were never resolved.

Be more responsive, responsible and fair.

Rooftop, gym, mail concierge, doorman, building is well kept and in a great location. Battery bark across the street as well as the west side highway running / bike trails. 2-5 min walk to all major subway lines

Water pressure / temp is great but showers do get backed up very easily. There were a couple of times we had some small cracks develop in our walls and they simply painted over it, didn’t inspect it at all. Other than that, maintenance was very responsive and helpful.

I love the train that runs by which is 4,5 and R,W which can also access Fulton train station

It can get cold so you must be prepared for that

Better management

A lot of luxury finishes on the apartment

Noise through walls :/

Make the walls thicker?

High cielings, nice views, nice interior, elevator

Management, price, location

figure out renovations and cleaning in time so that you don't move the move in date.

Friendly building staff
Beautiful building
Rooftop

Package room lost lots of packages
Elevators never worked, got stuck in them before

views, location, rooftop

management is awful, staff are rude and unfriendly. covid precautions not taking seriously. repairs were band-aids.

you have a beautiful building. take better care of it and your tenants.

The doormen are great, repairs are taken care of quickly. I love my apartment and the giant windows and great views. Lots of tenants are college students. Never had issues —occasionally smells faintly of weed on my floor and there’s been a party or two but nothing wild or intrusive.

Elevators are slow and often broken, and stairs aren’t an option since another building occupies floors 2-18. Trash chute on our floor gets super full, mostly due to gross tenants putting things in the complete wrong bin (like a full water jug in the recycling...) and not breaking down boxes so you can hardly open the door at times. The management takes out trash multiple times a day so I think it’s more on the neighbors.

Fix the elevators!

Updated appliances, door man, roof access, gym, great views

Walls are thin in some apartments so you hear neighbors, you can hear the noise of construction outside at all hours of the day and through the night

Keep the package room open longer

High ceilings, nice views, spacious, nice appliances, decent rent prices, close to battery park/bpc.

Repairs will take a while. Apartment was not clean at move in. AC leaks water into the floor (fix was replacing damaged floor tiles, but AC keeps leaking).

Get a better repairman/mechanic to look into the old AC units. Seems many apartments have this leaking issue. Waiting for the floor to darken/rot to then replace them is not a long term fix.

Great apartment, great light, recently renovated, rooftop access, control your own heat/AC, on-premise staff (doormen, maintenance) were lovely.

Management was an absolute abomination - terrible to its residents, its workers, etc.

Train your staff properly on how to interact with your residents - they missed a perfectly good opportunity to fill an apartment in a building that has MANY vacancies because they were rude and inconsiderate.

Views, nothing, this sucks

Bad management, customer service, elevators, amenities

Fix the building

Good location and apartment

Rather unclean and lax management

Nice lobby and rooftop views

Appliances are not most updated

Cool spot close to battery park

air conditioning really loud

Nice ambiance, prompt response but don't give appropriate answers

They charge every little thing to take away a full security deposit. They even charged for a paint wear off from kitchen closet door which they've painted. They're thieves. Don't rent there.

Stop charging for mistakes you've made.

Beautiful building. Great amenities.

Personally didn’t love the location.

we did have 1 roach.
