Mouse problem that never went away
Former Tenant
Pros:
Building staff were extremely nice and helpful. Apartment was spacious. Package room was convenient. Right next to the Q train entrance.
Cons:
Lived there for 2 years and had a mouse problem almost the entire time. Maintenance came to fill the holes they were coming through multiple times, but they kept getting in. Also saw roaches too regularly for what was advertised as a luxury building. We moved when they raised our rent 19% ($800) and refused to negotiate. Almost 1 year later and the apartment is still empty.

Unfathomably Horrible Management
Former Tenant
Pros:
Door staff so friendly with nice neighbors
Cons:
The management is manipulative, irrational, unprofessional, withholds information, takes no accountability and flat out lies about rent increases/apartment value to get their way, even when the market comps show otherwise.
Advice to owner:
Put a real manager in the “management office” to oversee the disgrace that’s currently the face of the building

Horrible Managment- NO accoutability
Former Tenant
Pros:
Proximity to the Q train. Large apartment but they are cutting them all up now.
Cons:
Apartment was NOT ready on my move in date, not cleaned and things were broken and stained. Shortly after construction began on 6 other apartments on the floor. All of this so that they could present us with a new lease with a $1000 increase.
Advice to owner:
If you can't earn trust of your tenants in one and bedrooms. Good luck pleasing the tenants of the $18,000 apartments you are all kicking us out for.

Another story of greed
Former Tenant
Pros:
Wonderful front desk staff and maintenance department
Cons:
This dated, dreary building is raising rents at an alarming rate (38% and more) because new buildings are being built all around them. Rugs are worn, hallways are dark and the building is in need of a total renovation
Advice to owner:
Make this building worthy of these ridiculous rents
Over 1 year ago
Generally good building
Former Tenant
Pros:
The building is generally pleasant. Apartments are spacious. Doormen/women are superb. Great package room.
Cons:
Apartments vary in their level of upgrades, yet you pay the same rent regardless. The office staff is unresponsive and rude.
Advice to owner:
Treat your tenants better.

Horrible building & management
Former Tenant
Pros:
The management team is awful I have no pros
Cons:
The management is AWFUL. The worst experience I have ever had living in nyc. Their negligence made my dog sick and they did not care and it took them over a week to even acknowledge it
Advice to owner:
Have a little decency? Care about the people paying you thousands of dollars
Over 1 year ago
Very expensive for what it is
Former Tenant
Pros:
Very nice concierge
Cons:
Once you sign the lease it’s incredibly hard to get a response. When I signed (a few years ago) the next day the gas as shut off for the whole building - was not told found out through the NYT article.
Advice to owner:
Be more responsive.

Constant noise
Former Tenant
Pros:
Doormen are pleasant and helpful, washer and dryer on every floor, convenient for public transportation
Cons:
There is a large and constant turnover of apartments, and constant noise and dust from the on-going, never ending renovations.

Stop doing renovations on vacant apartments...... just charge lower rents instead of trying to make this a luxury building..

Amazing Building!
Former Tenant
Pros:
Perfect location!! Literally right outside of the train. Love the driveway The walls are really thick, I’ve never heard my neighbors. Friendly and helpful building staff Great gym, pool, sauna Huge apartments with really nice finishes. Balconies are great. Lobby smells good like they pump something in (I know it’s weird but it’s actually a nice touch) Package room has dry cleaning Never had a problem with management, they’ve been very easy to work with!
Cons:
Elevators can take a while if you live on a high floor Food deliveries are left in the lobby (think this is just a COVID thing though) Building air gets dry in the winter
Advice to owner:
Hold social events in the back when COVID ends to increase community feel!

Shameful Management & Noisy as Hell
Former Tenant
Pros:
Proximity to subway
Cons:
UES Management’s neglectful, rude and discriminatory behavior is a repeated slap in the face given the rent you’re paying to live in this construction zone, and it will inevitably ruin your living experience at Yorkshire Towers. Good luck getting anything fixed or moved in without bribing $$ someone. Building maintenance is frequently unstaffed and/or unavailable for major emergencies such as pipe bursts. Tenants are weekly screaming at doormen because of safety risks like transients roaming the elevators and hallways due to poor lobby security. There is extremely high renter turnover due to dis-satisfaction with the building, so expect CONSTANT construction noise on all sides and above and below at all hours of the day starting at 7:30 am and into the evening. (We should have believed all the construction and noise warnings we read on Yelp!!) Half the tenants moved out during Covid because it is impossible to work from home with the constant drilling- and good luck getting your kids to nap at any time of the day.
Advice to owner:
Treat your tenants with respect- and take some action to address these complaints that ALL your tenants are providing about these unacceptable living conditions

Constant Noise All Day (banging and drilling from renovations)
Former Tenant
Pros:

Cons:

Stop knocking down walls when renovating apartments! Rent them out as is.
