Normandie Court at 225 East 95 Street,

Manhattan, NY 10128

doormen were very friendly. Package room was great. close to the Q

Management here is awful and will try to scheme you out of your money. When I was moving out they tried to tell me they never got first months rent from us (over 2 years later) and tried to charge us that and two years of late fees. I pulled up receipts and obviously we HAD paid it. Laundry room was always full. Had small roaches at one point but they were pretty quick with getting the exterminator in

new management

Right next to the 96th street Q

Majority of the laundry machines were broken, the doormen let anyone into the building, had roach issues in my unit

Doorman building with a nice lobby, mail room and elevator

Laundry machines are always broken, hallway smells so bad, can’t use any of the building space without being a member, rent went up so much after resigning, scaffolding has been up for about 2 years with no end in sight

Include the gym with rent, replace laundry machines

The staff is all very nice, and the ticket system for responding to issues makes most things easy and quick to get addressed. The club on the roof is nice as a working space and gym. The finishes in the newly renovated units are nice as well. If you're a remote worker, the working space in the club could be a huge benefit. It's also hard to beat being directly on top of the 96th St Q train stop, and a block over from the 6. The units are very well soundproofed from each other as well.

Last year, they raised the rent on a 1br by at least $700, and this year it increased by at least $500. Unless the amenities or location are very worth it to you, this is not a building where a small 1br is worth ~4.5k. There's no washer/dryer in unit, but for months now - the laundry room has had ~40% of the machines broken. For the level of rent and number of people in the building, that's unacceptable. The club costs $70 per month per person. Again, it's nice overall, but things like the weight room and the beach chairs look like they haven't been updated in 20 years.

This is the dustiest apartment I've ever lived in. It is wild how quickly dust accumulates.

If you're on the south side of the building, you can expect to be woken up by people blaring their horns when 95th St. gets blocked up by people double parking.

Each building is only served by 3 elevators. So any time there's a move or an elevator goes down, you might face a 10+ minute wait to get a spot. Beware if you're considering moving in on a higher floor.

Anytime you need to move out large items for trash or move furniture in, it needs to be coordinated with their staff, but that can become a circular game of telephone where people keep telling you to call different departments.

The electric bills are about double what they are in smaller buildings.

Also, if you're considering using the pool, you'll have to wear a swimming cap whenever you want to use it.

Well organized and managed, beautiful views, nice pool and gym.

Excessive rent increases, management unwillingness to negotiate, noise levels.

Keep rent increases moderate, not 1000 from one day to the next

Great staff, nice building, good amenities.

They will jack your rent up hard as soon as your lease is up. They raised ours 35%. We had to move away.

Don't raise the rent so much on good tenants? It should be illegal.

Amenities: gym, lounge, sauna, hamam, swimming pool, roof top, handyman.

prices are high

be nice when you talk about prices

View, gym, pool, renovated apartment.

Elevators can be slow

Keep up the good work. Maybe fix elevators so they are faster.

This building was clean, repairs were done on time, friendly door men, nice facilities.

The leasing and management are impossible to work with and make up rules as they go when it comes to renewing leases.

Mostly great building staff of door people, handy people.
Location.
Amenities.

Managment is challenging to communicate with.
Rats at the plaza level entrance.
Elevators are slow and frequently breaking down.

Please take our reviews into consideration.

Very close to the subway, good size apartments

Intense application process.

Nice friendly unionized staff who remember everyone and appear happy at work. Very responsive and courteous

Anything rent or finance is a bit byzintine, rent increases and no negotiations, noisy building, and elevators go down very often. Also did not return security deposit within 14 days as required by law. Had to follow up for over 1 month

Staff are nice but they’re really not allowed to speak to tenants

Roaches and they killed my dog via extermination. I was informed they were “sewer” roaches by the exterminator. Also, they hoard the nice apt from existing tenants trying to find a new apt. They try to use a first come first serve… only catch is that you must call daily to be first. They don’t retain you on a list - unless half their building wipes out due to a pandemic. It’s all corrupt there.

Do better

The building is generally clean and quiet, non-management staff are lovely and pretty helpful/responsive (eg maintenance, security). Doorman and package office are convenient. Right by the Q train, and nice views.

Management office is awful - unresponsive and irresponsible. They will overcharge you, steal security deposits, etc. The building is also aging/dingy.

Hire competent people in the rental office.

quick response to maintenance requests; building staff's attitudes & personalities; laundry in basement; mail room

management; overhead lighting; high price of guarantor or income

Drop the guarantor amount or allow different way to prove rent payment

Big building, big amount of amenities,nice staff , gym with swimming pool,bus and subway really close .

Lot of noise all the the time : police, ambulances ,firefighters, crazy people on the street screaming.

It's one of the more affordable "luxury" buildings, especially if you're able to take advantage of making into a flex apartment.

The building is on the older side. It's a lot

Always clean, felt very safe and maintenance was responsive

AC unit was old and seemed to use way too much power and drove up electric $$

24/7 doorman building, there’s a package room , health club and roof deck( tenants must pay extra ). The building is kept well. Laundry room in building a plus. Maintenance is quick and responsive.

Management can be hard to reach and not so friendly. The elevators when one is taken out of service can be a pain to deal with.
