    great building but everything is broken
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    location, location, location great staff and manager, especially Jerry
    Cons:
    everything is broken. elevators constantly down. redoing the entire lobby floor...again. little notice or communication for how long doors will be closed. Water systems constantly down for repairs. they replaced the unit HVAC and they are terrible. they can't seem to do any work on the building correctly.
    Advice to owner:
    give notice to how long repairs will take. I moved out as I can't live with no communication.

    Very nice doorman and amazing location
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Overall well maintained. Lovely terrace with amazing views. Most staff are very friendly and helpful.
    Cons:
    Seems like there is constant construction. Water is turned off a lot to facilitate this. Zero noise insulation from neighbors.

    Home sweet home
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    I have lived in the building since 2011 and never want to live anywhere else. The staff is amazing,
    Cons:
    The lobby renovation is horrible.

    Great location, management could be better
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great location, including breathtaking roof deck. Friendly doormen
    Cons:
    Management friendly but incredibly slow to respond. Dated lobby
    Advice to owner:
    Hire a manager with customer service (eg hospitality) experience and watch rents soar

    Best place I’ve ever lived
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location is amazing but it is not all about location here. The doormen are kind and caring and always looking out for their tenants. They go above and beyond. The property manager, Gerry, is one of my favorite people. She takes care of everyone in the building and becomes family. The neighbors are great, everyone is friendly. Walls are concrete so really sound proof. Constantly upgrading so nothing is pre-war, brand new great appliances and windows.
    Cons:
    Honestly had to really search for something here and the only thing I could think is roof closes at 10 and when weather is great in summer sometimes you want the night to go on a bit but makes sense for neighbors

    Great place to live!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Loved living here for 4.5 years. Staff are great.
    Cons:
    I have nothing negative to say
    Advice to owner:
    Keep up the great work! Staff are wonderful.
