Great rental building on 5th ave
Former Tenant
Pros:
Friendly doormen and neighbors, responsive super, clean gym. Love the proximity to Central Park.
Cons:
In 4 years of living here we have had maybe 2 issues with cockroaches/waterbugs, however these were dealt with quickly and exterminator in the apartment next day.
Management does not care about tenants and keeping good ones. They raise the rent a lot each year, often pricing people out after only 1 year of living here. I have had multiple unfriendly and unhelpful communications with the leasing office over the years. It’s clear to me they just care about a body to pay their rent.
Astronomical laundry prices. So expensive that I actually pay more for the laundromat across the street to do my laundry because I don’t want to give this building any more money.
