Home Sweet Home
Former Tenant
Pros:
Communal spaces
elevator
laundry in building
On site parking and storage (for a fee).
Gym
Super works harder and really nice
Cons:
Issues with randoms getting in (way less frequent, management now has security routinely in the building checking on evenings) . Neighbors not knowing how to do laundry and occasionally leaving the laundry room messy.

Sometimes management isn’t the easiest to work with and are really picky for no reason over things.
Advice to owner:
Stop raising the prices of parking and storage. It’s a gem. Keep prices down and people will actually use it. Make the lounge a party space.

Nice Building with great amenities!
Former Tenant
Pros:
The gym and rooftop
Cons:
Kinda felt like a college dorm
Over 1 year ago
Great building, great maintenance, poor management.
Former Tenant
Pros:
Super keeps building as clean as he can. Exceptional. If it wasn’t for him the building would go to sh*t.
Cons:
Lounge area needs a facelift. Gym needs an update, too often that machines do not work. Management? Lol not sure what they manage.
Advice to owner:
Lets just say, I’d run out of space to write.

So much better than my last apartment!! Love the building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great building
Beautiful rooftop
Full gym
Party room
Storage
Parking garage
Pet spa
Laundry room
7th floor lounge
Package room

When you want to use the roof for bigger things just ask management, they are super cool about it. They just ask you to clean up and don’t disturb the residents. End at 1am max then you will be fine.
Cons:
7th floor residents don’t really like to have people in lounge. I see people complaining about parties, you can barely hear anything & I live on the top floors. It’s just the boring residents who feel like they own the building. The people who throw summer parties are different each time but always inviting. Really nice finished roof and was able to meet a lot of great people in the building.

Mail isn’t delivered to your door. Super can be rude from time to time but I just ignore him.

Apartments are over priced for a small space.
Advice to owner:
Nothing much , maybe hosting some holiday events

Nice building, terrible management
Former Tenant
Pros:
The building is beautiful with a lot of great amenities. The roof deck has fantastic views, there are two common rooms (with work stations and a pool table), there is a gym, pet spa, bike room, and laundry room.
The building super, Reynos, is incredible. He is very friendly and responsive.
Cons:
Management is not responsive (and oftentimes rude and dismissive) to tenant issues and requests. Multiple tenants email about safety concerns, and management will send back rude emails and do nothing to fix the problem.
There have been a ton of issues with tenants hosting loud parties in common spaces and leaving a mess and not respecting noise curfews.
Advice to owner:
Be responsive to tenant requests. Be cordial in tenant interactions.

824 Lexington Ave Review
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good amenities. Great rooftop. Everything is new. Dishwasher in unit. Good cabinet space. Beautiful floor to ceiling windows in bedrooms.
Cons:
No overhead lighting in bedrooms. Building management won’t give enough keys per resident and tries to charge $50. Tries to charge for parking despite lot being mostly empty. Tries to charge $ for residents to use a common room in building. Wifi has many issues. Upcharges a 2BR as a 3BR taking away common space and natural light. Raised rent during pandemic.
Advice to owner:
Don’t try to up charge your residents for things that should be given to them.

Great Building. Bad Management
Former Tenant
Pros:
Rooftop, gym, nice facilities.
Cons:
Everything seems to have been made relatively cheaply, with small things not functioning in the apartment or overhead lighting in the bedroom. Building management is hardheaded and unwilling to bend.
Advice to owner:
Better communication with residents.

Noisiest neighbors ever/like living under a club
Former Tenant
Pros:
Management is responsive and tries to address issues.
Cons:
Noise in the 7th floor lounge and rooftop kept me up for weeks. Killed my mental health and made me hate living here.
Advice to owner:
Have a 24 hour person who can respond to noise situations.

824- Just Fine
Former Tenant
Pros:
The building has great amenities including the roof with a gorgeous view, a full gym, and laundry in-building.
Cons:
The building is cheaply made. The walls are thin and the architecture looks very modern but is not made for sustainability in mind.
Advice to owner:
Cater to your tenants needs rather than future tenants needs.

Clean new construction with lots of amenities and rowdy tenants
Former Tenant
Pros:
New construction so very clean and nice amenities like gym and laundry
Cons:
This is basically college 2.0 tenants through tons of parties and don't respect common areas also there is lots of mail theft.
Advice to owner:
Please do something about the mail theft
