Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for 42/43 REALTY LLC buildings reflect a generally responsive and friendly management team with attentive doormen and maintenance staff who address issues promptly. Buildings are well-maintained and clean with solid amenities like gyms and lounges, though some common areas feel dated and could use remodeling to match the luxury branding. Rent stabilization expiry has led to increased rents, raising concerns about affordability and attempts at tenant displacement. The location near Port Authority and Times Square contributes to noise, safety concerns, and a rough neighborhood feel. Pest control is inconsistent, with recurring cockroach complaints noted. Overall, expect courteous management but challenges with the neighborhood and building aging.

Reviews

Former tenant·44 minutes ago

Was good, new management concerning

Pros

The staff are amazing, apartments generally nice if a little dated

Cons

Recently acquired (looks like private equity) with plans to push out current tenants and gut the building.

Former tenant·3 weeks ago

Ivy Tower not what it once was

Pros

Great staff, I’ve found maintenance to be very helpful.

Cons

Rent prices and increases are frankly out of control. They advertise a luxury building and charge luxury prices but nothing has been updated for the past 20 years. Elevators constantly shut off, water constantly shut off for hours on end only to be turned back on with serious water pressure issues. Safety issues, food delivery drivers attempted to enter tenants apartments on two separate occasions. Building opens up to port authority, you can live in a much nicer building in the neighborhood for the same if not cheaper.
