A mixed bag that tends negative
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great building staff, friendly neighbors, finishes in the newer apartments are nice
Cons:
Problem neighbors are often longtime tenants which means if you have an issue with a neighbor doing something that disrupts your quality of life (ie causing mold or encouraging pest infestations), you’re the one who has to suffer or go. Issues with mold and roaches abound. Charge for the crappy basement gym is unreasonable for what you get.

It's All A Façade
Former Tenant
Pros:
The staff - specifically the staff at the front desk during the day, and the maintenance staff - are extremely friendly. The building is located near many amenities, and of course - the main attraction - Central Park. Quiet neighborhood, pet friendly, and good transit options nearby. There is also a package room which is very convenient and has friendly staff. Laundry room is decent too.
Cons:
While the interior in newer units may seem nice, they are quite cheaply made and do not last very long. Improper installations, heat from radiators at boiling temperatures, pests (including mice and roaches) run amuck in the apartments, garbage chutes constantly filthy (even with signs begging tenants to be more careful,) noisy neighbors (younger and younger tenants being allowed to rent and party all night long,) and worst of all... management. If you need anything besides some minor repairs, good luck! They do not care about you one bit. They lie constantly and will ignore you whenever they feel like it. And the rent is way too high in price for the quality and services you get in this "luxury building.) Tenants have protested the rise in costs and the lack of communication and insane rent increases. Not to mention the constant construction! And while the staff at front desk during the day is WONDERFUL, the night staff could not care less. Sometimes they're even sleeping! They don't check to see who's coming upstairs unless it's delivery. You can walk in without speaking to anyone and go straight upstairs... strangers getting past security 24/7!
Advice to owner:
Start communicating with your tenants, crack down on rules and noisy tenants, and stop raising the rent! You're driving away people for a reason...

Well locates and good management
Former Tenant
Pros:
The location is great with access to the express red line and B/C. Right above Whole Foods and across the street from Target making groceries very convenient. Never felt unsafe walking even at 4am.
Cons:
We did have a mouse issue once in our 2 years of living here. Management was quick to respond and address the issue. Room is also quite small in our 3 bed

784 Columbus Ave in Park West Village
Former Tenant
Pros:
The building has generally lower price than other luxury buildings (if you call it a luxury). It has a room for delivery
Cons:
It is an old building and you may meet some neighbors who are noisy over night
Over 1 year ago
Dirty and unsafe
Former Tenant
Pros:
I moved out
Cons:
Door men/ woman were asleep. Roaches were in apartments and laundry room. Apartment smelt of gas for 8 month so we had them come in multiple times to check and they said we have no gas leak. 8 months later we found out there a gas leak and they are refusing to do anything

Only one year
Former Tenant
Pros:
very nice front desk workers, clean common areas and very safe package room. good area.
Cons:
when we moved in we were not informed there was a history of cockroaches in the kitchen until we began finding them only days after moving in. We had it written in to the lease that the apartment would be cleaned when we moved in… it absolutely was not. There were other maintenance issues as well including floor boards coming up.

all things considered, it’s a nice place to live
Former Tenant
Pros:
- proximity to Whole Foods, Target, subway station, etc. - well-managed package room, so you don’t have to worry about your packages being stolen - always someone staffing the lobby desk - garbage chutes on every level
Cons:
- handymen aren’t super handy. when something goes wrong in your apartment, it will likely get worse before it gets better. - laundry machines aren’t maintained (always dirty and may or may not work, regardless of whether you already paid for them) - our unit was suuuuper dirty when we moved in. it took about two weeks to fully clean it.
Advice to owner:
- promptly follow up on maintenance issues - take care of the laundry room - welcome new residents with a clean apartment
