Great area, easy access to all trains

If you value your health, peace of mind, and basic hygiene, avoid this building at all costs. The cockroach infestation here is completely out of control—and it’s been met with complete indifference from property management.

For months, residents have been dealing with cockroaches in every part of the building: apartments, hallways, elevators—you name it. They crawl under doors and into living spaces no matter how clean you keep your unit.

Management has failed to take timely action. It’s only after widespread complaints that they’ve started spraying the building weekly, which should tell you just how bad the problem has become. Weekly spraying is a band-aid for a much deeper issue, and the situation has only escalated.

Tenants have been left to fend for themselves while dealing with unsafe, unsanitary living conditions. It’s unacceptable and deeply frustrating. Management has me purchasing my own sprays, traps, covers to plug up even my kitchen sink.

Bottom line: this building is infested, mismanaged, and absolutely not worth your money. No one should live in these conditions, they should offer everyone a discount on their rents.

Location, doormen, spacious apartments w amenities at good cost

Pests, management is hard to get in contact with

I would just suggest that the leasing office people are more easily connected with residents

Really modern with all amenities, responsive management, and lovely neighbors (mostly mid-20s). I would absolutely recommend this building.

Occasional cockroaches in unit in Summer

Street is beautiful, location amazing, spacious apartments

The management is rude and slow to respond. The building has a roach infestation and they do not address it.

Hire new staff / exterminators

Location is great, elevator, doorman.

Cockroaches (although they will spray inside your apartment which is nice), loud neighbor (probably just mine), pricey for what you get (no dishwasher), laundry is dirty.

No pros at all.

Infested with roaches and mice. Not exaggerating. Had to move out because it got so bad. German roaches EVERYWHERE

You guys suck

Responsive management and staff
Gym access
Package room
Clean

Some cockroaches in hall never saw in unit
Neighbors can be young/loud but building seems to be changing
Can hear neighbors

responsive, nice, good

hallways can be slightly dirty

Most units are updated and have nice kitchens / bathrooms. There is a gym in the basement and laundry on every floor. Package room helps make sure nothing gets stolen.

The doormen & management company are the most unhelpful bunch of people I’ve ever dealt with. They do not track who is coming into the building, charge you $150 if you are ever locked out of your unit, and are never quick to help you in any way. We had a rat in our unit and the doorman told us to wait 2 days for pest control to come, and never sent someone to help until we pestered 3 times. Management will not respond to emails with anything helpful, and will take months to get back to you with questions. The building often undergoes maintenance and there were times when we went 14+ hours without power with no help or subsidies from the building. They always tell you these maintenance projects will be shorter than they actually are, and you will be stuck without hot water or power frequently. Furthermore, this building charges insane rent for units where most of the bedrooms do not have windows.

Hold yourselves and your doormen accountable. If tenants are going to pay a premium to live in a “luxury building,” you should service your properties as such.

Gym, staff is great, package room rocks, maintenance requests are responded to timely, very clean in hallways

AC units make noise constantly, even when they’re off

Some of the washer and dryers are in one so it takes like 4 hours to dry and ruins most clothes

It’s an apt in a nice area of Manhattan I guess

The apt management is an absolute joke. I was dealing with them on a listing and the person left and nobody else checked their email. When I finally got ahold of them he said “do you know how many emails I get?” Where do they find these clowns?

Now they’re charging late fees on auto-pay payments to multi-year tenants who’ve been in the building longer than them

Get rid of all the mice, hire new management

Beautiful block cool architecture

Roaches and very thin walls.

Improve the walls, get rid of roaches - I shouldn’t have to put sugar and flower in the refrigerator as a precaution

nothing about this was good

dead mouse in the common areas, loud neighbors, overpriced…avoid at all costs

Very kind doorman. Hallways, elevators, and other high traffic areas remained clean. Great location within waking distance of the 6 train.

Failed to alert us of ongoing construction after we moved in. Two apartments on either side were renovated from 6am to the afternoon. Extremely noisy.

Elevators are slower than a mailman on Valium.

Clean, livable, nice amenities including gym. Staff are friendly and maintenance / pest control are prompt and effective. Overall, a positive living experience.

Building is loud and walls are thin. Frequent noise from neighboring apartments. Hallways often smell of marajuana smoke.

Would be nice to see the lounge completed.

Very clean, no pest issues, great natural light and big windows

Building management just isn’t responsive

Respond to your renters

Location I guess.

Rampant mice issue while I was here, building not responsive.
Dirty and loud crowd of neighbors.
Lock out fee policy.

Good location, heat/cooling worked well, if you can tolerate noise and pests it’s a decent place to live.

Lots of mice, cockroaches, and pests. Building was recently renovated but poorly maintained, especially in common areas. Many ceiling leaks. Neighbors had lots of loud parties and would leave their trash in common places, and throw trash off the roof onto the street and terraces – often felt like a frat house. Doormen would often be missing or asleep during their shifts. Building water supply and heating is very noisy, even within the apartments. Lockout fee, even on the first time it happens.

Building was clean but not fancy. Management company was relatively responsive to needs.

No liver in super at the time

Location, laundry on every floor, doorman building

Apts are very small for the price, 1 and 2 bedrooms have weird layouts, almost no closet space

Rent too high for square footage
