    Nice location; walk friendly.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great upkeep and quiet (mostly).
    Cons:
    Sometimes the Washer & Dryers are inoperable. Sometimes only one of three elevators are operating for residents.
    Advice to owner:
    Lower the rent.

    Good for what you get
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Probably the cheapest apartments in Manhattan that aren’t just a room with a sink
    Cons:
    Infested with cockroaches, entirely unresponsive management.
    Advice to owner:
    Stop cutting corners on maintenance
    Over 2 years ago
    Old building, high prices
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The apartments are pretty spacious compared to most NYC especially Manhattan apartments. Ton of history, was a former club doing harlem renaissance. Gate around the building for safety.
    Cons:
    Food desert. Nothing really in the area. The area can be friendly and communal yet sketchy.
    Advice to owner:
    More staff

    Don't Live Here
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Can't think of any
    Cons:
    Dirty; Minimal upkeep and upgrades; there was trash everywhere all the time
    Had a rats and cockroaches everywhere; one of our neighbors had bed bug issues constantly
    Large, heavy gates not properly secured - and they've become unhinged many times the four years we lived there
    We had a huge hole in our bathroom that took 3 months for them to check and patch up
    Security guards would play loud music from their cars in the middle of the night
    Thin walls so you can hear everything - even people having sex!
    There are just so many ...
    Advice to owner:
    Please don't advertise that you're a luxury building when you are not.

    Could be worse
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Apartments in decent shape,
    neighbors pretty chill and friendly. Quick emergency repairs.
    Cons:
    Management sucks and is super unfriendly,
    I never got a FOB to the building.
    Advice to owner:
    Pls give me a fob

    Clean and Modern
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    No issues with heat or hot water in the winter. No issues with pests/bugs. Building always felt really clean and our unit was clean when we moved in. No issues with anything breaking or not working. I felt extremely comfortable living in this building in every sense of the word.
    Cons:
    The management/super wasn’t very responsive but we didn’t have many issues (other than smoke detector needing replaced once) so it wasn’t a big deal. The office for the complex is insanely difficult to get in touch with. Scheduling our move-out was a struggle.
    Advice to owner:
    The Savoy Park office needs some serious restructuring and added weekend hours. Your tenants have 9-5 jobs too!!
