63 West Realty Corp

A great price to have the amenities and live in that area, on site staff like maintenance responsive and quick for repair needs and more, nice people living in the building, quiet neighborhood in general. Close to supermarkets and of course the west side highway/Central Park/Lincoln center

Although the overall area is nice, there is occasional crime on the street (sometimes shootings) and think that keeps the price down but in general felt super safe , had a couple of roach/mice incidents over the 2 years I lived there, but also they have exterminators come twice a week so management was generally responsive about this. Issues with hot water/water pressure/etc that come with a pre war building, although they have people come within a couple of days, sometimes problems would linger.

Responsive management, quiet street, quick maintenance

Large bug problem in the summer, location next to Amsterdam prrojects

None - it's bad

We had roaches. It's small. The Elevator does not work. The package room attendant is inappropriate. The fridge doesn't stay shut, even when empty. I have to submit a maintenance request weekly. Juliard kids, so usually hear them practicing. The street is noisy, right next to housing projects, and someone was killed there. Also there is mold -- I asked them to fix it and they paint over it. Did I mention the roaches? I hate this place!

have an exterminator on standby

• Near lincoln center

• Laundry rooms have few machines
• Area is fine, just be aware you are right across some housing projects
• Apartments are TINY. Shoebox style living
• Bathtub required resurfacing as it was falling apart. Smell did not go away for a couple days
• Heater rarely worked

Rennovate the units. They're old! And add more laundry machines.

cheap, good location

cold in the winter, noise in the street

Very clean building, responsible super and management, neighbors are nice and quiet despite being on the younger side

Landlord will ding you for minor damages, $200 or so, no biggie

Convenient location, elevator building

Loud outdoors, slanted floors

This is a great building if you are a student or recent graduate looking for a reasonably priced apartment to live in. Management is very responsive and helpful as long as you are a responsible and respectful tenant. Having front desk security, package signing, in-building laundry, and a gym/fitness center is practically unheard of for Manhattan at the affordable rent this building is charging. The building is also super close to public transportation and most of the stores you could need (Trader Joe's, Target, etc). Didn't really have any issues with pests either after multiple years of living in the building on one of the lower floors.

The apartments are a bit small and some of the bedrooms don't have closets, though there is plenty of room to fit a closet rack or portable closet of some kind. There are some noisy tenants in the complex since the majority of residents are in their early 20s, but management will do their best to help out if you raise any significant/recurring noise issues with them

Responsive and friendly management.

Sometimes a bit dirty and loud radiator

Neighbors were considerate and noise levels very low. In-building laundry machines worked well. Courtyard area and interiors were kept clean. Elevator worked well. Maintenance teams *very* responsive!

When I stayed here, while the building was kept clean, it did show its age, along with the older gym equipment and interior surfaces. Reception staff were generally courteous and helpful, though I was upset when they insisted they hadn't received a package for me, which happened to be a >$800 laptop - only for me to ask to check the stacks of boxes myself, and I found it buried under several others. I did not mention anything at the time, as reception service was otherwise helpful and considerate.

Scheduled, publicized, and ~annual interior refurbishments would be very much appreciated. I trust that today's reception staff are very considerate, though training for customer service and and more-efficient systems for deliveries management (particularly for $800 laptops) would also be appreciated.

Can't beat the price and the staff are pretty good. The building has a gym.

The live in super passed away a while ago and the maintenance has declined significantly. The boiler is frequently busted and being repaired. Not a fan of the gym remodel. They don't give out keys anymore, you need a third party phone app installed to get around to the laundry and gym.

Manage the courtyards, lower levels, and trash collection better. Stop making the electronic locks mandatory to get around the building.

- Lots of young people around
- Convenient to subway and shopping nearby
- Very inexpensive for the area

- Mailroom has very limited hours
- Occasional pests

Location near the 1 train and bus stops. Management on site and technically a “half doorman” that takes packages. Elevator building. Laundry in basement and access to other laundry machines if your building’s is used. Easy enough trash system. Also has a very small gym for basic workout. It was cheap when I subleased it. I had no pest problems. Great sunlight (I was south facing). Also quiet (courtyard facing also)

Radiator/pole had a clicking noise that drove me a little nuts. My room out of 3 rooms was only one that had this. I’m sure if I leaved here longer, maybe it wouldn’t have bothered me but the few winter months I had drove me slightly insane sleep wise.
Was next to projects but never had a problem

Maintenance were very responsive and helpful. Package collection is easy.

Certain rooms can get very cold at night. Certain rooms you can hear everything happening in the hall

Keep hiring great staff

Front office is responsive and easily available. Repairs are timely.

Radiator bangs extremely loudly in cold weather.

Radiator system is too loud.

Responsive management, rent stabilized

Building is old and outdated, can feel gross at times

fast management response, good mail concierge

thin walls makes noise loud, radiator and water temp are very sensitive

Location was great

Size of rooms was lacking

Nice supers and are generally nice and helpful.

Noise from upstair neighbors through squeaky floors and things moving, noise from roommates because of thin walls and the large gaps under the doorways, and noise from the hallway can easily be heard in the living room.kitchen

my unit was newly renovated. we didn't have any problems with rodents, but we saw a huge spider once. was on the 4th floor and never opened my windows b/c a huge cockroach climbed in (and back out). management pretty responsive if you put in a maintenance request, but we've had repeated plumbing issues. good location.

my unit had a terrible layout and was super tiny. no heat and very freezing in the winters, no ac and unbearably hot in the summers. if you use a window ac unit it costs hundreds of dollars in electric. sometimes the building washer/dryers break. the people outside can be very noisy.

manage the washer/dryers better.
