Reviews of 550 West 45 Street

Former tenant·just now

Used to have great programs for residents but went downhill real bad

Pros

Below was my review from 3-4 years ago but the place has become significantly and progressively worse. Amazing resident enrichment programs, generally great doormen and staff, pet friendly, clean premises, feels safe, free commuter shuttle

Cons

Programs suck because the event managers who replaced the old one suck and don’t care. The coffee machine and the business center devices break all the time and take days before they’re fixed. The friendliest porters all left. Plumbing, ventilation, and water leaks are recurring issues, and they said fhey can’t really fix them permanently
