Used to be a great building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Doormen are efficient and friendly
Convienent location
WAS rent stabilized.
Cons:
Rent stabilization expired. Marketed and priced as a luxury building with no true luxury amenities
The new super Will Hart is a poor manager of the building the previous super Luis was a much better communicator and cared about his job he would be continually updating us as to maintenance and elevator shut downs. The building seems to have a never ending water issue it’s CONSTANTLY getting shut off or there’s no hot water. It’s very evident the building is showing its age and starting to fall into disrepair as well as it’s dated the hallways and carpets are worn out peeling wallpaper ect. I would not recommend living here with the prices they are charging. Not to mention the area is just unpleasant polluted/dangerous with port authority bus terminal across the street homeless and junkies everywhere.
Advice to owner:
Update the building, charge reasonable prices, recognize what type of building you have and the area work to keep current tenants after rent stabilization expires (I am leaving)

A great building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Wonderful doormen/concierge/staff/maintenance, extremely friendly and helpful. Great at managing packages. You can get things fixed pretty much immediately. Can't hear anything above and below you. Really great kitchen and bathroom. Large for a one bedroom.
Cons:
Can hear next door neighbors sometimes. Once in awhile, there is construction. AC units are OK but don't work perfectly. Expensive now but probably on market. Neighborhood-wise, this block often feels kind of sketchy.

Ivy tower is nice but the area is a dump
Former Tenant
Pros:
Management is solid. Supers are good. Rooms are good and very soundproof. Views are amazing. Location is central. Doormen are super friendly.
Cons:
Amenities are pretty non-existent. The biggest issue is the surrounding area is awful. Port authority spills over and the homeless are extremely hostile. The area is loud, dirty, and terrible.

Overall good experience
Former Tenant
Pros:
Doormen are very friendly and helpful
Cons:
If you live in the lower tower, you are less likely to encounter issues with the water. But even the lower towers, the bath water will be a bit brown/yellow if they are doing work on it or it hasn't been turned on in a while.

Luxury building next to times sq and port authority
Former Tenant
Pros:
Ivy Tower is split into two buildings (one with 8 floors, second with 45 floors). They have separate elevators; shorter one has access to the roof; taller building has the laundry, lounge, and gym. For $150/year per unit, you get a key fob to access the gym and lounge. The gym is equipped with a decent amount of equipment and TVs. Lounge room has a pool table, desks, and unlimited coffee from espresso machine. Laundry requires a separate card to pre-load funds. They recently replaced several machines in 2022. I never had a problem securing a machine for washing/drying. The building allows for flex walls to built in your room and allows for multiple people to pay for rent in the same unit. The building also has a community board for job postings, sales, inquiries of those in the building. Building management is located on the ground floor. Staff are all super friendly and the doormen will know you by name.
Cons:
I lived in a corner unit on the 19th floor that did not have much noise from neighborhoods or street (despite the close vicinity of one of the busiest intersections in the city). If you open your windows, it will be really loud and they also don’t have screens!! Did not have any pest/rodent problems. Maintenance requests were usually saw in a day or two. Intercom ringing can be really loud and disrupt roommates. The building has access to rooftop but it’s only on the 8th FL (not the tall side).

fantastic place to live
Former Tenant
Pros:
* front desk security people knows everyone's faces
* leasing office is very responsive over email
* elevators are fast once you are in them
* no rooftop on the tall building, but on the mini tower (5 or 6 stories), there's a rooftop
* apartments don't come with blinds
Cons:
* when all 3 elevators are working, things move quite quickly, but for several months, there were only 2 and sometimes only 1 elevator available for a 45 floor building + penthouses which means it would take 5-10 minutes to get in the elevator sometimes
* garden and outdoor deck were closed most of the year
Advice to owner:
you should live here!

Favorite home in my 9 years in NYC
Former Tenant
Pros:
The staff is terrific. I have my favorites among the doormen, and the majority is very friendly and helpful (ex: will let a friend in on my behalf if I am not home). I also like the gym (but sad they got rid of the peloton) and haven’t really had issues with elevators being down.
Cons:
Sometimes the noise carries through the air vent in the kitchen so we can hear our neighbors if they throw parties. Also, you can hear conversations people are having in their homes when you’re in the hallway.
