Pest issues, including cockroach and waterbug sightings, are recurring concerns, mainly on lower floors, with calls for better extermination efforts.

Good experience overall

Pros

- The doormen are very friendly and helpful - Mostly timely responses to maintenance issues

Cons

- The gym is very small and requires an extra fee. They also do not allow you to pay for the gym monthly, only yearly. - Rent is high for what we're getting - Dealt with the occasional water bug and a couple instances of German roaches (lived on a high floor) - Sometimes do not hear back about maintenance requests

Pros

Overall, after 5 years, I’ve loved the building and the area. The doormen are super nice and helpful. Our apartment had a washer and dryer for a somewhat reasonable price for NYC, although we initially got the apartment on a major COVID deal so that could be why. But generally speaking I’ve enjoyed my time living here and common areas were always well kept.

Cons

While the area is great, it’s horrible when the UN is in session. Maintenance was always quick to respond, but we always had so many issues with things breaking or not working properly, and they’d just do bandaid fixes every time. Amenities are fine enough for what they are but cost extra.
