Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenants praise the building for its cleanliness, efficient garbage management, and responsive staff. Amenities like the rooftop and gym are highlighted positively, along with the convenient location near transportation options. However, noise from the street is a recurring issue, especially on weekends. While some suggest improvements like upgrading windows and installing blackout curtains, overall, residents find it to be a great place to live with friendly neighbors and a well-maintained environment. Despite minor drawbacks like variable doorman service quality, the general consensus leans towards recommending this building for its positive living experience.

Perfect Building, Imperfect Location
Former Tenant
Pros:
I love everything about this building. The management, the doormen, the roof, I would probably live here forever if not for location.
Cons:
The building sits on Ludlow street, which has become one of the loudest streets in the city. Katz deli has trucks outside EVERY NIGHT making noise at 3 am, drunk people are screaming outside nightly. I don’t think the windows are properly reinforced to block out sound.
Advice to owner:
Upgrade the windows

Living here has made me spoiled
Former Tenant
Pros:
Beautiful and well maintained lobby and common spaces. Our apartment is big for a one bed and ceilings make it feel even larger. Lots of storage. Friendly and capable staff. Maintenance requests addressed very quickly (often under an hour). Building management also responds to emails fairly quickly. Good package room system (lockers and text system). Nice roof deck and grill. Appliances all work well. Heating and cooling system works well (wall unit) and is regularly serviced. No issues with pests whatsoever. Decent gym (and very cheap). No major issues over 3+ years of living here.
Cons:
Being on a lower floor, we have a good amount of street noise (and recently strong cigarette smell). Immediate area is very busy (on same block as Katz's so lots of tourists) and night life can be a lot. Heaters noisy during winter
