Reviews of 223 East 96 Street

Former tenant·10 months ago

Good building overall

Pros

The apartments themselves are nice and the gym is a plus

Cons

Management can be unresponsive

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Bad neighbors and still haven’t received sec deposit back since moving out

Pros

Newly renovated units

Cons

Neighbor fell asleep with a candle on and curtain caught on fire at 2am. Not management's fault, but worried about them burning down the building. Upstairs neighbors were also really loud at late times at night. The worst bit is that it has been over two months since moving out and they still haven’t given my security deposit. They keep telling me by end of the month I’ll receive but still nothing
