The amenities are wonderful, although the pool and grills were often crowded. Things got fixed quickly. We liked our building appliances and finishes.

The location is convenient for trains but quite depressing otherwise. The area is dangerous and chaotic, between traffic at night and homeless or unwell people during the day. Until we moved away, I didn’t realize how stressful it was.
Specific to the building: there was a shooting that the building covered up. They announced the shooter was gone, while in reality he was still residing there, months later. (Timeline in attached screenshots). The building was unable to evict other mentally unstable and unwell tenants who threatened other tenants. Safety and health were not a priority.

Ban guns. Do not allow “legal owners of guns” to keep them in their homes. Be firmer about screening and criteria for residents

Staff is super responsive and always helpful! If you put in a complaint the night of they’re there the next day.

Roaches. Since it’s a prewar they can be occasionally in the basement. Make sure to cover your sinks at all times because they will come up that too and holes in walls! I’ve seen 3 in my apt in the past year!

Work on pest control a bit more

Loved living at 200 W 60th. Great location, good building management and doormen/porters, and overall a very safe experience.

Noise. Noise. Noise. For the 5+ years I lived in this building, the constant noise of construction made me want to bash my head in with a jackhammer. The building acoustics are terrible if you live adjacent to a stairwell and construction noise happening on ANY floor will travel right into your apartment. Also, the hallway acoustics are terrible and you can hear doors slamming all day and night! It sounds like a hotel on Planet Construction.

- Very clean & new building
- Staff is very friendly and helpful
- Great bike parking (though access is not the most convenient)
- convenient location close to public transportation hub

- Rent is very high compared to neighborhood averages. You
- The beautiful deck terrace has a useless shower on the only Statue of Liberty viewing spot
- no car parking in the building.

- Kids playroom could be given more thought

Very responsive staff. Good lounges.

If your neighbors smoke, you will smell it. Get an air purifier. Even though its not allowed, management will only politely ask people not to.

The 27th floor lounge should be open to 11pm on the weekends.

The doormen are nice. The neighbours are nice.

No water or heat which is illegal.
Cockroaches and mice in the gym, playroom and also at a lot of apartments.
Renovation happening in most floors so constant noise.
A lot of people smoke in their apartments and the elevators smell and also the floors.
Look at the bad yelp reviews

Great location in the WV

Pest control was a huge problem. I could regularly hear mice in the walls.

good and reliable service

there are pest problem

Everyone who works here is a gem. So nice and welcoming! The location is amazing and the building is pretty clean and well-maintained for its age. No issues with bed bugs or rodents while I’ve been here. Garbage management is excellent. Good laundry facilities and working elevators.

It’s super noisy (but that’s what you get with this location!)
Heat is inconsistent during the cold months — sometimes it’s so hot you need to open a window, but sometimes it’s FREEZING and the heat isn’t working properly. Very frequent water shut-downs and hot water issues. It’s happened maybe 4-6 times already in the past year I’ve been living here. Water pressure is pretty weak. Neighbors are a bit loud and can sometimes be heard through the walls (but it’s not a constant issue)

Please fix the plumbing issues!

Gym/pool is great, units are very spacious, management is very responsive

Price increases are tough, but still seems to be great value based on market

- very clean
- no pests aside from the occasional small bug or spider
- responsive maintenance crew
- nice amenities
- all apartments have in unit washer and dryer
- Gym is fully equipped, has two squat racks, machines free weights etc. You technically have to pay an amenity fee but I've been able to negotaite getting it waived

- there have been water issues where water has to be shut down for a few hours
- major pipe burst on the 28th floor where all the apartments got flooded

The location is great (far enough away from the clamor of Bleecker, 7th Ave, etc., but not too far), and it's nestled between the two bars on the corner of the street so it generally doesn't get too loud.

The stairs are steep and pretty uneven. There is also only one washer-dryer in the basement that could use some repair.

More than the management, the team working in the building was the absolute best. The concierge and handyman on site always went above and beyond to ensure all tenants had the best experience. They'd often help me with my trash (so not necessary) and come in and fix things in the apartment within the hour.

Water was frequently turned off due to old pipes and gas was cut from the apartments for several months.

Better communication with upper management

The people working here are amazing. The building is very well maintained and clean.

Sometimes the responsiveness of the management was a little delayed.

The location of the building is amazing. And the management company knows it

When we moved in there was a mice and roach problem which we had to remedy ourselves due to the non responsiveness / delay in management action.

They also raised our rent by 10% after only 2 years of living there

Improve your customer service in line with the prices you are charging people to live in your buildings! :)

Staff (except the doorman that treated me as a peer instead of a renter)

Rent keeps going up because it is no longer rent stabilized. NOT WORTH the increase rent. Management is not open to negotiation. No real amenitites to speak of.

Increasing prices leads to increased turnover which makes the place feel like a transient hotel rather than a community. The agent should have told us that the rent stabilization was going to end which meant the rent was going up $1000 during the next lease.

It's a nice building, good staff, clean

Tiny apartments and price for that

stop gouging prices for these tiny apartments :)

Staff are incredibly kind, building is clean consistently

some messy neighbors and lingering scents from other units

Doormen were great! Responsive management. Super fast maintenance.

A slight bug issue but nothing out of the ordinary. Elevators can be busy because big building.

Make sure trash system is not causing there to be more bugs.

Nice apartment, everything works fine.
In the heart of west village

extremely noisy building, just over a super noisy restaurant that closes at 2am.
low water pressure
I have seen cockroaches in common areas and in our living room

lower the prices because of the noise
