Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent renter feedback for Augustus & James-managed buildings, particularly at 515 West 59 Street, points to a mixed management experience. Tenants often praise the convenient location, attentive and friendly doormen, and generally responsive maintenance staff who address heating and water issues promptly. Renovated units are noted for spaciousness and cleanliness, while rent-stabilized options provide affordability. However, persistent concerns include cleanliness inconsistencies, especially in common areas and garbage management, occasional pest problems, ongoing construction disruption, and elevator maintenance delays. Noise levels and neighbor relations are generally decent but vary. Overall, management shows responsiveness but would benefit from improved upkeep and addressing infrastructure challenges to enhance tenant satisfaction.

Location, Convenience, doormen

Cons

Construction and trash situation

Former tenant·11 months ago

Spacious, Well-Maintained Units w Responsive Staff, Minor Infrastructure Hiccups

Pros

Apartments and studios are simple but spacious with a good layout. They are generally well-maintained and building maintenance people are very quick to respond and solve any issues. There is a small gym at ground floor (free). Doormen and building staff are great.

Cons

Hallways are pretty basic and could be cleaned more often. Intermittent issues with AC and water supply (although usually solved pretty quickly).
