- super clean

- large kitchen with great appliances

- 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

-Views from 2241 are lovely
-Fairly modern/clean/bright designed apartments
-A/C unit is digital and does both heat and cooling (no forced heat or radiators which I hate)
-Bathroom size and light up mirror
-Helpful and friendly doormen and maintenance team
-Laundry on every floor
-rooftop views
-I have had no pest issues in unit 2241
-can barely hear neighbors even when they throw parties
-dog friendly building
-package room is great
-location super close to waterfront walking path
-close to 4/5, 1, and R/W trains

-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
-hallway carpet is disgusting but not a huge issue
-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.
-management is extremely slow to respond to emails

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

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
