99 John Deco Lofts at 99 John Street,

Manhattan, NY 10038

- Friendly & attentive doormen
- Clean amenities
- Abundant elevators & laundry machines

- Owner & broker of my specific unit were terribly unresponsive, but that's separate from the building itself

The staff is great and the building in clean. Lots of great amenities

They are putting up a building across the street and it is super loud during the day.

Great condo fees

Doormen & maintenance staff are great and helpful - has not been much turnover; no pest issues; maintenance staff are quick to address requests; apartments skew on the more modern side; near many train and bus stations for easy commute to virtually anywhere in BK, Manhattan & Jersey City; near Seaport & Brookfield; apartment walls are pretty thick; most residents are young professionals or families; apartments facing the back of the building are typically quieter (note however the streets are pretty narrow so sound still travels to the higher floors); just completed its local 11 law repairs; daycare and grocery store are below; elevators are usually never an issue

Brown water from time to time especially on the higher floors which causes the building to turn off the water for a day every month or two; shared laundry room washers should be cleaned more regularly due to mold build up; shared laundry room dryers usually leave things damp regardless of how little the load is unless you use one of the four big machines; major construction on John Street will be a nuisance for the apartments on that side for awhile; "convenience" stores are frequently popping up and closing down so the neighborhood generally smells of weed while walking around; many storefronts have been empty in the area since before and during COVID; new management as of March has aggressively increased many of the board application fees making it unattractive to renters; more condo owners are now putting their broker fees on the tenants which was not always the case (we've been living here for 8 years - 4 years in 2 different apartments with 2 different owners), but still looking for rents similar to the rental buildings in the area; some of the apartments and floors are weirdly shaped or have poor ventilation so be sure to take a look at the floor plans; many apartments are due to be updated (etc., weird kitchen countertops that absorb everything; bathroom floors that have tiny tiles that are making cleaning the grout annoying).

Elevators and doorman

gym needs more stuff

The amenities in the building were great and the friendly staff were very helpful. Proximity to the subway and the Seaport. Communal grills.

Elevators were rarely all working. Layout of the apartment wasn’t ideal. There was no natural light in the kitchen, bathroom or dining area.

The staff. They are friendly and helpful. Get to know them. When I lived there the super was also excellent. Clean. It’s in FiDi so the location is what it is.

The building management company. They advised the owner, when repairs needed to be made “I’m here to save you money”. Don’t expect assistance from them.

Amenities are always taken care of

The gym is tiny and the indoor lounge is gloomy, but both get the job done

super clean, high cielings all of the amenities are well maintained. if they are closed for repair, its only for a short time.

the heat is electric so its expensive in the winter, but you get to control the heat so its not that bad

upgrade the air con/ heating units - they work but they'r loud

Easily accessible to subway
Clean interiors
Friendly, helpful doormen
Feel safe

Rooftop/patio is okay
Hard to find parking on street
Not a lot of light

All amenities, clean, very well upkeep

Nothing to note, except walls are a little thin

Nothing to note

big space, nice lobby, cool roof amenities, have only seen 2 roaches 8 months apart and one of them was because there was a small hole in the wall.

fidi is boring but that isnt the buildings fault,

Condo so experience is likely based on your individual owners if renting, mine were great and apartment had very few problems

Quiet building overall

Incredible rooftop. Had so much fun here

Solid gym

High ceiling units made it a little spooky but made studio feel immensely huge (already large sq footage)

Very convenient location

Gorgeous and large entryway

6 large capacity elevators

Building staff was truly unbelievable and I miss them to this day. Derek was so great!

Extremely dark in building as is common for Fidi. Prepare to get lots of lamps.

Some units oddly shaped when I looked at other units. Mine was great with long hallway to very large rectangular layout

The rooftop, the gym, laundry building, and doormen

Nothing - it’s the best!

Package management could be better, I’ve had a couple issues recovering certain items

The roof is fantastic and the doormen are amazing

Sometimes the water gets shut down

building staff is super friendly and i felt safe. lots of good amenities and quiet neighbors

my landlord raised my rent and i can no longer afford it. units are really narrow

24/7 doormen are all really nice and good at their jobs, laundry room is huge and clean

Move in and move out fees, lots of rules from management

Liked living in this building. Had great staff and doormen we still miss and stop by to say hi to.
The neighbors are a mix of young adults and families.
Subways are close by

It’s financial district so streets are narrow - so not much of a view unless you’re on a higher floor. And it can get loud if the apartment is facing the street

Nothing in particular

Roof deck and proximity to subways

Bad management. I had mold in my apartment so bad, the allergist told me to GET OUT. I did. Owner Barbara Schildcrout sued me for rent I sued her for my deposit. I won.

Get an inspection. I wouldn’t buy here, quality of construction is super cheap.
