Tenants appreciate modern kitchens, strong water pressure, and excellent amenities like the gym and rooftop lounge and deck areas. The building is generally quiet with respectful neighbors, although some note street noise and a high number of dogs due to pet-friendly spaces.

    Nice building, no major issues.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Good water pressure; responsive management; excellent amenities (particularly the gym and the rooftop lounge). Rooms are nice and clean with good, new kitchen equipment. No major complaints, really.
    Cons:
    All of these are relatively small issues, but: A/C system is old (no strict temperature controls, so I can't set the temperature by degrees), but still effective. No ceiling lights in the rooms. Bathtub drains slowly.
    Advice to owner:
    None

    So far it’s great but...
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Responsive maintenance team, modern fully-equipped kitchen, nicely maintained and clean common area, well-lit and clean laundry room, friendly doormen, beautiful little apartment with stunning roof deck. I’ve lived here three months, and not only is the location wonderful, I love my building. Friendly management and neighbors make it feel like home! I hope the rent stays affordable so I can renew my lease.
    Cons:
    Drafty windows, kind of yucky old window blinds

    UPDATE: I have just learned that the management has changed from Buzzuto to Greystar. A quick Google search has me on edge. Greystar has HORRIBLE Google reviews for various properties they manage. I hope this doesn't go badly. At these rent prices, good management should be a given.
    Advice to owner:
    The windows are very draft and not energy efficient- should be replaced. The old bent up mini blinds should be replaced with shades that block out the light better at night
