it’s ok but not worth
Pros
Nice renovations, nice appliances
Cons
Small, trash system is bad and there’s so many rats in the area. Did see like a few cockroaches
Nice apartments, on the worst block in Chelsea
Pros
New apartment Reasonable pricing The supers are quick/great
Cons
- 21st and 8th is a warzone. The deli downstairs has shady personel selling drugs, blasting music, and crazies yelling throughout the night and threatening violence. Police are there regularly and don't do anything, it's unsafe and every so often there's an issue with someone getting in the building. The deli staff is in on it somehow I'm convinced and often see employees trading cash with the rabble-rousers. Seriously this is the building in the photo: https://chelseacommunitynews.com/2024/06/17/officers-often-assigned-to-problematic-corner-transferred-council-member-bottcher-convenes-with-city-agencies-nypd-at-21st-8th/ - Trash room is gross, when the door gets left open by the neighbors there's rats. - Packages stolen frequently, delivery men refuse to use the mailroom despite instructions on packages.
Advice to the owners
Kick out the Deli owner on 1st floor as a tenant, he's clearly facilitating illicit activity in broad daylight EDIT May '26 -- the Deli has been removed from the 1st floor which has cleaned up the corner quite a bit and is a reasonable improvement from when I first wrote this review
