M F Associates Of New York LLC

Great for what it is, nice apartment near the subway and in a great area, decently priced compared to others

Elevators take forever, too many people and too many floors for just two. Building could use some updates.

literally nothing. except the one of the 5 million minimum wage paid doormen who fist bumps me whenever i come home

elevator broken once a week
AC constantly not working
hot water turned off once a week
water pressure terrible
ogden cap is the greediest and slimiest property management in nyc

sell the building to a management company that actually cares about its tenants. you've made it painfully clear that profit comes before people. maybe it’s time to let someone else try who hasn’t given up on doing the bare minimum.

Great amenities, very close to the 6 and Q, always feel safe walking in the area, a lot of good food nearby

Recently the local 11 noises have been out of control, so much so that it would be hard for someone who mostly works from home. Also if you’re reassigning a lease etc they will nickel and dime you.

Chill on the fees

Amenities are great, good maintenance response time, doormen are lovely, and central air/ heat

Construction noise and neighbor had cleanliness issues

Responsive management and maintenance
Lots of amenities available

Ongoing construction noise due to work on the building (6+ months)
Near two major hospitals, sirens 24h a day
Laundry machines always smelly/stain clothing sometimes
Gym area is massive and nice, but lots of machines are broken/missing parts (it's also not included in rent - additional membership fees)

Full size appliances, able to flex easily, great staff, package room, security is great

Loud construction, sometimes brown water

Nearby subways
Full service

Construction and building renovations taking much longer than promised.
Elevators always breaking down resulting in very long waits and delays.

Lower rents because of bad conditions. Need more security protection

Location, access to subwa

Normandie Court is great on paper. Nice kitchens, good location, building amenities.

All of the amenities cost extra and the gym facilities were old and not worth it. The elevators were constantly breaking down. The walls were paper thin and facing 96th street near the hospital was terrible. They kept raising our rent ($600+ in one year) with no upgrades or changes. Not worth it!

Maintenance is great. Responsive and quick. Management is a nightmare . Gym is clean package room

Management a nightmare. Elevators always broken. Gym equipment always faulty. The outside of the building filthy.

Invest on cleaning the outside for the price they charge per apartment

doormen were very friendly. Package room was great. close to the Q

Management here is awful and will try to scheme you out of your money. When I was moving out they tried to tell me they never got first months rent from us (over 2 years later) and tried to charge us that and two years of late fees. I pulled up receipts and obviously we HAD paid it. Laundry room was always full. Had small roaches at one point but they were pretty quick with getting the exterminator in

new management

Right next to the 96th street Q

Majority of the laundry machines were broken, the doormen let anyone into the building, had roach issues in my unit

Apartment had nice natural light, very spacious, great staff working in the building and the gym and club amenities were really good.

The management company only cares about money, they try to include crazy and unreallistic fees for everything and this means they don't care at all for your needs or for maintaining a good relationship, even if you are a 10/10 tenant. That's mainly the reason why I left a place I used to like to live somewhere else. There is a construction going on which is insanely loud on weekdays and it goes very slow, it has been going for years now and no estimate to end.

Mail room staff is polite and goes above and beyond.

Management is a complete joke. Front desk is borderline rude. Washing machines and driers are out of service half the time. Water coming out of faucets is sometimes brown with no explanations. Elevators break so that it takes you 20+ minutes to exit the building. Management does not follow they own rules about dogs; people are sometimes attacked in elevators. Besides all that, work on the facade is extremely noisy, you will NOT enjoy living there. Any reviews those past years saying otherwise are either lying or not yet affect by the noise. Trust me, their tone will change as it gets to them.

Listen to your tenants and stop being money-greedy.

Wonderful doormen and staff. Very safe. Nice space.

There is constant construction on outer bricks of the building, nearly every day.

Good facilities and gym

Expensive and large rent hike!

Doorman building with a nice lobby, mail room and elevator

Laundry machines are always broken, hallway smells so bad, can’t use any of the building space without being a member, rent went up so much after resigning, scaffolding has been up for about 2 years with no end in sight

Include the gym with rent, replace laundry machines

The staff is all very nice, and the ticket system for responding to issues makes most things easy and quick to get addressed. The club on the roof is nice as a working space and gym. The finishes in the newly renovated units are nice as well. If you're a remote worker, the working space in the club could be a huge benefit. It's also hard to beat being directly on top of the 96th St Q train stop, and a block over from the 6. The units are very well soundproofed from each other as well.

Last year, they raised the rent on a 1br by at least $700, and this year it increased by at least $500. Unless the amenities or location are very worth it to you, this is not a building where a small 1br is worth ~4.5k. There's no washer/dryer in unit, but for months now - the laundry room has had ~40% of the machines broken. For the level of rent and number of people in the building, that's unacceptable. The club costs $70 per month per person. Again, it's nice overall, but things like the weight room and the beach chairs look like they haven't been updated in 20 years.

This is the dustiest apartment I've ever lived in. It is wild how quickly dust accumulates.

If you're on the south side of the building, you can expect to be woken up by people blaring their horns when 95th St. gets blocked up by people double parking.

Each building is only served by 3 elevators. So any time there's a move or an elevator goes down, you might face a 10+ minute wait to get a spot. Beware if you're considering moving in on a higher floor.

Anytime you need to move out large items for trash or move furniture in, it needs to be coordinated with their staff, but that can become a circular game of telephone where people keep telling you to call different departments.

The electric bills are about double what they are in smaller buildings.

Also, if you're considering using the pool, you'll have to wear a swimming cap whenever you want to use it.

Friendly staff (door men, maintenance, etc)

Oh my god everything else. The the vents have not been cleaned in the apartments so you constantly get dust all over your room. The heater/air conditioner in my room was stuck blowing heat and it was 75° outside. There was multiple weeks where they were doing some elevator work, and they closed one elevator at a time for a weeks where they were doing some elevator work, and they closed all 3 in a 36 story building. They will randomly close large portions of the club level and amenities, including both roof decks. There’s an additional club fee if you want to utilize the workspace and gym — they failed to tell me that both of the roof decks would be closed indefinitely before I signed up. They also have on-site laundry however, if you use the laundry chances are your clothes are going to come out fucked up. They have been doing a building exterior check for the past four months and will send you an email on the week that your apartment is scheduled to be affected by the ground shaking demolition/drilling noises for the entire day from 8 AM until 4 PM. They offer 1 to 2 suites for people to go work and reserve in two hour increments, which is not helpful if you work from home. I can’t imagine if I had children. The noise level has gotten to the point where I’ve had to call out of work because I had a migraine, and I had to leave my apartment.

Shoutout goes to the mailroom who works hard to receive, sort and hand parcels to residents.

If you are thinking into moving in at Normandie Court, I would strongly suggest you reconsider. Some construction work started mid August 2022 and are still ongoing (management refuses to communicate an end date), which uses power drilling machines as well as power saws from 8am to 4pm, Monday to Friday. The noise is a nightmare and is to bang your head on the wall. Multiple tenants have reached out to management, they simply do not care about their tenants. Regardless of your personal situation, they won’t help in any way. Once you move in, you are blocked.


Besides this complete joke, here are the other things you’ll experience:


- Elevators take ages to arrive, and quite often the next one will be too crowded for you to get in, you’ll have to wait longer. Queues form at the ground level to get up,
- Half the washing machine are “out of service” and take ages to be repaired. Once my laundry was stuck in one of those. All I could do was call a phone number that was unable to help. Of the machines in working order, half will be full of pet hair, in which you don’t want to wash your clothes. Nobody empty lint drawers ever. Plain disgusting,
- The water in sinks/baths regularly turns brown for no reason and no explanations given by management. When you ask maintenance, they said "tell us when it happens next". You’ll wonder what you’re washing yourself with,
- As mentioned in another review, windows don't close (whether you ask for repair or not). In the winter, the cold comes in a steady flow and cool your place to the point of having ice on the window sils. You will have to stop the draft with a towel or something,
- Front desk will complain to you if you park your car for more than 15 minutes while loading/unloading, all the while you wait 5+ minutes for an elevator each time. Even though there is no lack of space at that time,
- There is an hospital nearby and you’ll experience constant emergency truck sirens and honks every 5 to 20 minutes non-stop all day and quite a few at night,
- There is a Mosque on the North West corner, and I do respect any background and religion, but be aware you will hear them pray in a loud speaker in the street (on top of that tower) around 6 am some mornings.

I deeply regret moving into this complex. There really is nothing “luxury” about Normandie Court or its management team.

Well organized and managed, beautiful views, nice pool and gym.

Excessive rent increases, management unwillingness to negotiate, noise levels.

Keep rent increases moderate, not 1000 from one day to the next
