It has become home

Great place if you can afford it
Former Tenant
Pros:
No complaints in terms of various living amenities except the rooftop deck - which wasn't as great as advertised
Cons:
Rent increases can be quite unaffordable. I also did not receive my security deposit back as my check was fraudulently cashed and even though I did the required follow-ups, the building management is taking too long to talk to their bank so this can be resolved

Gateway, great building, only con is the dog owners
Former Tenant
Pros:
Clean, quiet, large apartments, extremely friendly and helpful doormen (especially Ed). No disruptive neighbors. Most apartments have beautiful views of the Hudson River. Maintenance is very responsive and prompt and fixed every issue I’ve had.
Cons:
This is a dog friendly building and there is pee EVERYWHERE. some tenants let their dogs pee in the stairwells and it does not get cleaned up very often. Everyone else lets their dog pee on the sidewalks outside so walking to and from the building is a minefield of pee and poop.
Advice to owner:
Do a better job of managing the dog owners and cleaning the pee from everywhere.

Good location. Needs updating

Good location and decent floor plans

Finishes in the apartments are old and need updating. Neighbors constantly smoking. Sidewalks around the building are always covered in dog poop.
Advice to owner:
Do something about neighbors smoking
