Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 814 Amsterdam Avenue praise the building’s modern design, high ceilings, large windows, and excellent natural light. Units feature amenities like central air and in-unit washers/dryers. Location benefits include proximity to public transit and stores. However, tenants consistently report poor management responsiveness, persistent maintenance issues, and noisiness due to thin walls and active neighbors. The rooftop terrace remains closed for extended periods following a fire, disappointing many. Garbage management and cleanliness receive mixed comments, while pest control is generally good. Overall, while the building offers attractive apartments and location, management shortcomings and noise concerns reduce renters’ satisfaction.

Lived here for two years
Former Tenant
Pros:
Unit had really high ceilings and large windows facing North so great natural light. Central air worked great during the hot humid summers. Building is new so very clean and modern appliances.
Cons:
Roof took forever to open and there's no shade. There's two elevators but one is often down. Had lots of issues with video intercom. No doorman and no easy way for deliveries to get into the lobby, so lots of missed deliveries. Management can be slow to address issues. Ownership is very slow to respond for lease concerns. Had to have dishwasher replaced. Close to fire station so can be loud with sirens.

Cons:
They changed to a new property management, and their response time is awful. Not helpful either.
