201 West 66 Street,

Manhattan, NY 10023

This is a beautiful building in an amazing location on the corner of West 67th and Amsterdam. It has its own private driveway, which makes pickups/dropoffs super easy and safe. Incredible views from inside units.

New management bought the building in 2024 and decided to make some cosmetic changes to the building, which were okay in theory. None of the changes actually improved the building, in fact, many of them made the building look worse and/or cheapened the original look of the building, which was designed by a great architect not too long ago. The units are on the smaller side, which is fine, given this is not uncommon with NYC apartments, but new ownership decided to steeply increase the rental rates for these smaller units (which were already more expensive than other larger apartments in the area) making them a poor value for existing + new tenants. The other drawback of living is here that most of the staff are not friendly/ helpful. There are a few staff that residents really like, however, the others should not be working at a building where the rents are this high. When residents are paying rents this high, they expect the staff to not be rude/ unhelpful.

Get residents feedback on how new management is performing - it is not positive.

Clean, new, well-run building in a great neighborhood. Finished are great. Quality of construction is great.

Rents going up exorbitantly given the layout and lack of really at-par amenities for a building of its size and cost. Small (but clean, nice) gym, and really spartan, unpleasant outdoor space. Not other shared areas worth talking about unless you play piano.

Nice views of sunset

Horrible management
Air quality is so bad

Do your job

great location in a residential spot

not much going on in the UWS

Staff are all very nice, apartment is lovely.

Relatively high rent increases, noisy especially on Amsterdam side.

Location
Units are clean
Nice driveway
Good amenities such as gym, storage
Nice concierge and doorman

- Air pressure in the building causes doors to slam and make it hard to open
- too expensive. Building is now market rate and 1bd now commands 7k-8k which is ridiculous

Clean and well kept building and grounds. Convenient location.

HVAC system not so great. Rooms get very cold and hot easily. Space gets dusty very quickly too. We had ceiling water leaks multiple times that took long time for repair and damaged our furniture. Overpriced for small kitchen and bathroom with average finishes. Appliances and shower fittings often malfunction and break. Not so much storage space. Something wrong with building pressurization - makes it very hard to open and close windows, elevator shafts are always extremely noisy with wind sound.

Upper floors have amazing views. Amenities are nice and the units are fairly modern compared to a lot of NYC apartments. Great location with good access to the 1 2 and 3 lines.

Moved in Summer 2021, rent got bumped 40% on our renewal.
Finishes aren't bad but slightly dated.

Don't boot people with such large rent increases year over year

Great amenities, views. High marks for service and staff.

Management is unrealistic about rents in more recent pandemic driven market where vacancy has risen by at least 10% in the building. Have been slow to re-open common spaces and gym. Have not made efforts to improve the units. This should all be factored into rent reductions.

You market the building as luxury, go above and beyond for tenants now, while they will be home more. Offer more in unit enhancements, (higher quality WiFi, supplemental air filtration as during the winter the apartments are very dry with limited operating windows due to winds), maybe convert some additional space to common work areas/desks.
