Reviews

Former tenant·10 minutes ago

Decent building, bad management

Pros

Neighbors are great, building staff is great

Cons

Poor & unresponsive management, hot water frequently out building-wide, management refused to repair elevator in protest to tenants suing management company

Former tenant·10 months ago

Used to be amazing

Pros

The other tenants and doormen/elevator men are absolutely lovely.

Cons

This building was amazing until it sold to TriHill management. The managing company is horrific. I had a roach problem and they were completely unresponsive. They turned the heat off in the winter and are constantly looking for ways to cut cost and screw over residents.
