Good starter apartment
Former Tenant
Pros:
The doormen are the best. They're kind and friendly and will look out for the tenants. Maintenance is extremely responsive. Never had an issue with laundry.
Cons:
Not much to complain about, the units could be a bit more updated and sometimes there's only mini fridges in the kitchen. Larger fridges are more of a first come first serve basis.

Deceitful listing on StreetEasy
Former Tenant
Pros:
I didn’t live there I just toured. The view wasn’t bad. And there was laundry in building.
Cons:
The listing showed a living room, and 2 bedrooms in the background. Was not at all the case. It was a 1 bed with a living room, and we had the option to make the living room a bedroom. Listing said flex wall was already up, it wasn’t. And it would’ve made the kitchen the width of the fridge.

Former Tenant
Pros:
The doormans and all the maintenance people were very nice and helpful
Cons:
My unit seemed more outdated than the other units. I remember there were couple times when water was stopped due to maintenance issues but other than that no big issues

high rent is questionable
Former Tenant
Pros:
- packages are kept in a package room that only the doorman can access - if you lock yourself out, the doorman will lend you a spare key free-of-charge - doormen are all super nice (some more than others, but they all do their jobs and are so friendly) - 2 elevators in case one is taking too long - really close to Grand Central Station - convenient location - great lighting - easy to submit maintenance requests
Cons:
- gym is super hit or miss, all of the treadmills were out of service for like half a year and then randomly were replaced with newer ones (but clearly older versions). Also, tiny. - No lights, except for in the kitchen, bathroom, and closets. - Management is unhelpful (but at least they respond) - There's no vents I can turn on in my bathroom + I can smell my neighbors' weed from the bathroom vents. When I asked management about this, they said they would cover the vents, but don't you need vents in a bathroom??? - Construction going on our balcony for months with no estimated end, meaning that we can't even make use of our windows lol - Laundry is hit or miss -- one time I washed a load and realized I ran out of $$ on my card... and the machine to refill my card was broken 3 + even though I only put one Tide pod into the laundry machine, my clothes are still sudsy
Advice to owner:
Would appreciate better jobs of maintaining shared machines (laundry and gym)

Nice building but bad management
Former Tenant
Pros:
The building is clean and staff (doormans, super) are friendly and good at their job.
Cons:
Management (Carlyle group) doesn't care about the tenants and will try to squeeze every last cent out of the rent. So beware when renting for the first time, since at the renewal the management might ask for 30% higher rent easily!!
Gym in the basement used to be OK-ish, now it's a mess with most of the equipment in disrepair and not working.
Advice to owner:
Be fair to the tenants and invest in the building facilities (especially gym!!)!

Great building & staff
Former Tenant
Pros:
Pretty building, updated, great doormen, porters & super. Prompt attention is paid to just about any issue I have had. They all care. My dogs are happy even when it is time to go home from the park. The location is awesome. Subway is 1/2 block away and I can walk 2 blocks to the express trains to all of NYC. Garage in building is so convenient as well when I have a car.
Cons:
The women above me that walks around in high heels all day long. Hahaha.
Advice to owner:
Keep up the great work.
