Good Building, Poor Construction Communication
Former Tenant
Pros:
General good condition maintenance-wise, two modern elevators, in building laundry, good residents/neighbors, supermarket on ground floor is very convenient, very good commute to most of Manhattan with 2/3 and 6 stations nearby
Cons:
Active and noisy construction with little notice to affected occupants, including construction of temporary partitions that reduce usable habitation area; one elevator is unreliable and frequently goes temporarily out of service
Advice to owner:
Better communication about construction schedule and milestones (when each side will be blocked off, when facade work for each side is expected to complete, etc)

A nice building, some minor problems
Former Tenant
Pros:
Generally a nice building. Largely pest free. Nice amenities like laundry and dishwasher. Good layout, light, and amount of space in common areas- though smaller bedrooms with mini windows. Friendly people in the building.
Cons:
Management was not super responsive at times for repairs/maintenance. Lots of unexpected building construction, very frequent building wide water shut offs, notice of more invasive construction to come. Was also going to start charging us for electricity. All of that considered, continued to increase the rent.
Advice to owner:
Don’t try and increase the rent if you’re going to shut down the water and/or power more than monthly.

Terrible management, decent location
Former Tenant
Pros:
Close to a lot of transportation, and very close to Central park
Cons:
Building management is horrendous. They are impossible to get ahold of, and will not fix anything that is wrong in the building or apartments. For example, we were rented a unit that was advertised with a dishwasher, which did not work when we moved in and it took them almost 4 months and multiple correspondences for them to even come out and look at it. When we complained about mold in the bathrooms, their response was to simply paint over it. Their lack of care shows in the building.
Advice to owner:
Be more responsive, and actually take care of the tenants in the buildings

Large & nice looking but with some downsides
Former Tenant
Pros:
-Elevator building -Most units were upgraded and renovated with new floors, paint, door fixtures and nice large stainless steel appliances: fridge, gas stove/oven, microwave, dishwasher -In-unit washer dryer in some units - new & high efficiency. Pay Laundry room in building as well where you can pay & keep track of your wash cycle time through your phone - Nice bathrooms & kitchen with large sinks, new fixtures & cabinet space -Lots of cabinet and closet space - Large kitchen and living room - large windows in living room + master bedroom, nice views if you are on the southwest/park facing side -Air-conditioning units included -No pest problems in renovated units
Cons:
- No amazon locker or gym & lobby amenities in the building even though they advertise it is coming soon, that is for the neighbor building and it is behind schedule, taking over a year -Shower water pressure - Small windows in some rooms (but renovations happening soon) - Noisy due to massive construction on neighboring tower buildings, on other units in building and by being right by a hospital zone with ambulances coming by. *Noise will get worse in 2022 & 2023 when they start construction on the facade & renovating the small windows into bigger ones -they plan on doing this while residents are still living in the units -Few outlets in bedrooms - Front door is always open & unlocked because the buzzer system has not been implemented in over 1 year, they have been saying since 2021 that is is coming soon, so if packages get left at the front they can get stolen -Doorman/Security doesn't really check who in coming into the building or ask anyone to sign in, so anyone can walk in -Multiple apartments have noted package theft on multiple occasions -Building heat/thermostat is managed by a different company who arent that available - apartments can get cold in the winter even when the heat is on as there is a limit -weird smell in one of the elevators that never goes away due to the trash chute being next to it
Advice to owner:
Dont market this as a luxury building, it has no luxuries. Hire another Property Management staff - they are trying their best, but overwhelmed with only 2 Managers having to deal with so many units in this building and the neighboring ones, so they can be slow to respond to issues that aren't immediately urgent like a water leak. More building resident meetings to keep up to date on the status of all the construction happening and the buzzer systems

An okay building
Former Tenant
Pros:
The apartments are large, living room gets great sunlight, all apartments have more than one bathroom, newly renovated kitchens.
Cons:
Poor management. For example, we needed screens on our living room windows and the repair guys would come like once a month in an ~attempt~ to fix it and then just kept coming back every month pretending like they were working on it. This was never fixed throughout my one year lease. There are also definitely nice no matter which floor you’re on (we were seventh). Will not keep packages in the mail area. Also the bedroom windows are really weird and high.
Advice to owner:
Don’t promote this as a luxury building. Be responsive to tenant work orders.

Boogie on a Budget
Former Tenant
Pros:
It’s a high rise so no pest issues. Great large space that you really can’t get anywhere else for the location and price. Large windows and view of Central Park. Laundry is accessible in building if not in your unit. Doorman and never any package issues
Cons:
Management takes so long to respond and maintenance process is a drag. Pair more in rent towards a key fob and it broke the day it got installed and it was never fixed for a whole year… people would just hang outside the building so wouldn’t you want to fix the door?
Advice to owner:
Please respond to y’all’s emails and these are things that affect your tenants day to day wellbeing…

You get what you pay for, but sometimes the juice ain’t worth the squeeze
Former Tenant
Pros:
You live a block from Central Park in a secure building on top of a grocery store (score!) and with a train and bus stop around the corner. The apartments are all immaculate upon rental. Electricity was included.
Cons:
Close to unsafe areas in East Harlem with. Management company is unresponsive and when they do respond they are rather rude. They also detach themselves from any issue other than a minor maintenance or repair thing. “What exactly am I paying for” was a way too frequent question.
Advice to owner:
Management companies shouldn’t treat tenants as a nuisance when they’re requesting services well within their contracts. Work elsewhere if it bothers you so!
