620 West 179 Street,

Manhattan, NY 10033

Utilities all included, laundry facilities are spectacular, common areas are well-lit, clean, and updated.

Some neighbors are loud (it’s a cultural thing)

I would love to see the public areas on the second floors opened up again…. I hear tell from the buildings opening in the day the areas were nice

The maintenance responds very quickly, utilities included in with the rent, newly renovated.

Above I-95! Tons of noise, dirt, exhaust, and brake dust. Can’t enjoy balconies due to the noise.

Try to get the highway capped

This apartment building if you’re lucky enough to get one with a balcony on a high floor it’s fabulous what I love the most about this building is utilities are included and it’s very accessible to the highway if you drive in mass transit

be unfortunate part of this building is regardless of whether you’re on the first floor or the 32nd floor it situated on top of interstate 95 and during the day it can be quite noisy with all of the traffic as well as sirens and just people blowing their horn but after living in the building for a month or so that background noise you barely hear especially if you keep your windows closed also unfortunately there is a cockroach problem however if you reach out to management via the renters app on Sundays pest control Des come early in the morning and you have to stay on top of that as far as having them come to visit every week but it is New York

use a stronger pest control agent to control the cockroach population

Overall I like it. I would avoid the East side facing apts as they are very noisy because of the highway. Specialy in the summer with the windows open. The neighbors are kind they are mostly friendly families that say hi to eachother. The staff is friendly they keep it clean and take care of the garbage.
The elevators can get annoying Specialy when 2 crash and we are stuck with one for weeks.
Regarding Covid this management should be ashamed.
They did nothing at all during the whole beginning part of the pandemic and the entire building got sick. No one was wearing masks elevators were stuffed with people. No one cared. As if anyone was not watching the news.
When I mentioned to a teen to wear a mask he got angry with me.

There are heroine addicts going in and out of the building they are going to an apartment where they get their drug.
The other day my roommate was in the elevator with a group of teen boys. A gun fell on the floor. The teens told my roommate, we will remember your face. You didn’t see anything.
In the winter the heat gets hot so we have the windows open.
The noise from the street is pretty loud.
The elevators sometimes are out for weeks in a row. With the whole building stuck with one stuffed super speeder elevator.

You want to charge high prices to people moving here and make it look fancy.
But safety is key.
If we don’t feel safe here what’s the point of living here.
Having guys with guns in the elevator is very scary.
Heroïne addicts on their way to apartments to get their drug is also not great.
All of this can be solved by tight security.
Most of the guard now just have conversations with their friends.
Also your Covid sighs 9 months to late don’t work. People stuff the elevators.
