Decent but overpriced for what it is
Former Tenant
Pros:
A great location. A nice lobby and rooftop. Mostly very nice and friendly staff, with some exceptions...
Cons:
1) Management is not friendly and not very responsive either, takes days and sometimes several reminders for them to respond. 2) Pest control is lacking - I saw huge roaches a few times downstairs, but what's worse is that they came into our apartment through the plumbing system a couple of times (11th floor).
Advice to owner:
Management team is lacking good customer service skills

Symphony House Review
Former Tenant
Pros:
I really enjoy living at Symphony House - management is easy to work with and the doormen are great. Location is extremely convenient to a lot of different trains and the units are new and refurbished. Very thick walls so sound doesn't travel which is a huge plus. The gym isn't as nice as a paid gym but it definitely gets the job done.
Cons:
Some units don't get great natural light but overall very happy with the building

Really well managed building!
Former Tenant
Pros:
Clean, safe, good location, management is always responsive.
Cons:
Not much really. The apartment prices have raised pretty much recently.
Advice to owner:
I would keep doing what you're doing. I have never had a problem with them during my 1.5y living in the building.

Do not recommend, old building and bad management
Former Tenant
Pros:
Apartments are spacious enough
Cons:
The insulation is absolutely terrible. Wind blows through the windows very loudly and woke me up frequently, I had to tape them shut which barely even fixed the problem. There is so much heat leakage that the apartment becomes outside temperatures within 10-20 minutes of the heat being off. The floors would get so cold my feet would start to hurt even wearing heavy socks, heat of course does nothing to fix this as it’s just poor insulation. I flagged this to management so many times, they avoided my messages and dragged it out thru the winter, lying about how quickly the windows would be replaced. Upper management does not get involved and property manager is tasked with stalling til your lease is up. Also very loud, sirens going off all the time even on a high floor I hear everything. Very limited kitchen storage and shelves are mostly in impossible to reach places for a person of average height. Bathrooms don’t have direct heating on and get freezing cold in the winters.
Advice to owner:
Be responsive, don’t lie, actually fix problems for your tenants and if you won’t, give them abatement.

Good and bad
Former Tenant
Pros:
Its clean and has good amenities when you can use them. Love my apartment itself.
Cons:
They don't let delivery guys come in the doorman are not very helpful with accepting deliveries that aren't from the mailman and they will lose your stuff and act like its not their fault but thats their job... you can't go in the pool after 7 PM or even on the roof after 7 PM on the weekends and the management of the roof and Gym are really rude they charge you for your friends going on the roof and they have a limit of 2 people.
Advice to owner:
Its a great building itself but they really need to be more considerate of tenants

Lots of amenities, unpleasant staff
Former Tenant
Pros:
So many amenities, pool, jacuzzi, roof decks galore, elevators (although constant maintenance) laundry in floor, balconies etc. some staff people are friendly and professional
Cons:
Doormen are rude, unprofessional at times. Rent increase is significant this year, constant construction with windows and elevators disrupting serene amenities
Advice to owner:
Don’t raise rent, you’re building has not gone up in value yet and the quality of life is still lacking.

Symphony house you need to know
Former Tenant
Pros:
Nothing - this is a nice building but the doormen ruin it.
Cons:
The staff of this building “lost” $3,000 worth of merchandise of my outgoing packages including 2 Hermes bracelets. I thought it was a fancy building at first but you’re better off in a non-doorman building than this place. When I asked for my stuff back and called the property manager I was threatened with eviction notice unless I “behaved.” The doormen are rude, incompetent, and lazy. You’re better off in a non-doorman building. There are really no amenities at this building. Way way overpriced for what your get. I had to leave that toxic environment. I
Advice to owner:
Get a clue.

Nice luxury building in busy area
Former Tenant
Pros:
-has nice views of Hudson River and Central Park depending on your unit -nice rooftop garden patio area on 9th floor -new kitchen appliances and bathroom -lots of closet space in apartment -very nice location. Very close to Central Park and great subway access at Columbus circle and 57th st stations. Close to broadway and theater district and shopping
Cons:
-I personally didn’t like that the area felt commercial and touristy. 8th Avenue can be pretty loud and you can still hear it from the apartment. -window insulation was not great. In the winter the part of the apartment close to the windows was noticeable colder than the rest of the apartment -Some very kind doormen and employees and others that didn’t really care you were there
