Gramercy is nice
Pros
Fully staffed building with laundry in basement.
Cons
A lot of noise weekdays when school is in session
Certainly NOT Luxury Living
Pros
Very convenient location in the heart of Forest Hills. The doormen and porters are FANTASTIC.
Cons
Renting here means dealing with a management team that ignores serious habitability and safety issues. I am currently dealing with a recurring ceiling leak that was "repaired" with a cosmetic paint job rather than fixing the source; as a result, the damage is already resurfacing. This pattern of neglect extends to the entire building, from roach-infested garbage rooms to a complete lack of oversight regarding tenant safety. Management is fully aware of a neighbor who has required police intervention numerous times, as well as frequent security intervention. This individual regularly ignores quiet hours with yelling and banging at 2:00 AM and frequently violates the lease provisions regarding a smoke-free building, yet management refuses to enforce the rules. Despite these documented violations and health risks, Steve Gregware and Robert Vasquez have remained consistently unresponsive; on the rare occasion they do respond, the issues are always brushed off or met with gaslighting. You are essentially on your own the moment you sign the lease; do not move here if you expect a safe, sanitary, or professionally managed home.
