Big apartments, beyond horrible management
Former Tenant
Pros:
Big apartment
Good location
Cons:
Management turns on heat only in rare intervals daily - early morning, 11AM , 5 PM and 8PM so if you work from home you are freezing. I had to call 311 and report no heat so many times. Often there are water outages so you are left with no water on a day's notice.
Management is absolutely non responsive and the quality of things that come with apartment is beyond minimal (all doors had chipped paint, front door were not properly fitted, kitchen cabinets fell apart within a couple of months, tiles in the bathroom are chipped) and they try to charge you for the things that have been broken before move in.
For a while before the pandemic they ran illegal Airbnb from a couple of apartments and during all of the pandemic they had people doing the work inside the building when it was illegal to do.
Management is also very unresponsive.
Advice to owner:
Treat your tenants as humans.

Solid - but lots needed to improve.
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great location, great building support team. Apartments are bigger than standard in NYC.
Cons:
The water pressure is very low. Toilets don't flush properly - every one in the building has this issues. When you poop, you have to poop then flush, then wipe then flush - that's how bad the toilets are. Showers take 3-4 minutes before hot water come out.

Heating in the apartment is very sporadic - goes from super hot to super cold.
Advice to owner:
Fix the plumbing in the building! We pay too much to have toilets that don't flush properly and improper heating!

If you have an issue they won’t fix it.
Former Tenant
Pros:
Staff is nice, but won’t actually fix problems. Will give you an apartment without telling you multiple things don’t work well.
Cons:
Your electric bill during the summer will be over $400 and you won’t be comfortable.

Make sure everything works properly before they force you to sign term sheet moving in. Push off for a few weeks to see if heat, air, and water pressure all work.

Read deleted reviews on Yelp. It’s all true
Former Tenant
Pros:
Large sized apartment. Doorman and neighbors nice
Cons:
Management company doesn’t respond to issues. Super lazy and has control issues when you need a repair. Building charges obscene amount of damages when you leave for normal wear and tear. Building does not have 24 hour doorman as
advertised on site.
Advice to owner:
Pay attention to needs of tenants paying market value.

Overrun with mice
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location, reasonable rent for doorman building.
Cons:
We were inundated with mice. We must have trapped or killed at least 3 dozen mice in our last year of occupancy. You can hear the mice crawling around in the walls.
Advice to owner:
Invest more money in fixing up the hallways, modernizing the elevators and sealing the building from rodents.

Rats and a bad landlord
Former Tenant
Pros:
Loved the doormen. Carlos is incredible! Juan and Jarick are great too.
Cons:
The Super was not responsive and we would have to beg him for help on simple tasks such as pest control.
Advice to owner:
The rat infestation is a problem
