Well-managed building, loved living here!
Former Tenant
Pros:
- The concierge/front desk employees are friendly and professional.
- Never had any packages get lost
- The few maintenance requests I’ve had have been resolved same-day.
- The building is immaculate and well-maintained. It also has nice amenities (gym, pool, rooftop deck)
- Thick walls - I’ve never heard any noise from my neighbors to either side or in the unit below. (the apartment above me has been unoccupied the whole time I’ve lived here though, so I can’t say for sure whether or not any footstep noise would come through from above). I can hear people passing by in the hallway if they’re talking, but it’s not really an issue.
- Great location - close to Central Park and excellent transit access.

Cons:
- Street noise - 3rd Ave and 96th St is a busy intersection. Most of the time it doesn’t bother me, but there are some days when it feels like the sirens are constant and it kind of wears on me.
- Elevator outages happen occasionally, though at least it very rarely happens that all of them are out of service at the same time. Compared to other high-rises where I’ve lived, the elevator service is fairly middle of the road—definitely not the worst, but not the best either.

Great staff @ OCH
Former Tenant
Pros:
The staff is fantastic. The amenities are great, but you’re paying for them even if you don’t use them. Parking available in the building.
Cons:
Some unfortunate and untimely elevator issues throughout 2023 created times when no elevators were readily available for resident use.
