Be cautious of management
Former Tenant
Pros:
It is a very well maintained building even though it’s an older feel. They are on top of maintenance.
Cons:
No woman should ever move here. Not only did they let their super give my ex (who I lived with then) a tool to get the deadbolt open from the other side so he could attack me. (As I tried to get out) Then the super asked men in the building if they “f*cked me” and spoke about my body at the front desk to others. I beg women to be careful. And please listen.
Advice to owner:
If your super sexually harassed a tenant don’t keep him in the building and traumatize a woman anymore than she already had by your employees.

Excellent building and great staff
Former Tenant
Pros:
Staff are friendly and responsive. Building is well built and corners weren’t cut unlike a lot of the newest buildings. Amenities are free. Very dog friendly.
Cons:
Rent is expensive, and as building loses rent stabilization over the next few years it might go up even more.

Amazing staff, management, and neighbors
Former Tenant
Pros:
I absolutely love The Giovanni. I have lived here for 3+ years and it truly feels like home. All the building staff are incredible and friendly. They really take care of the tenants. Any time I have a maintenance request, it is addressed within 24 hours. I cannot speak highly enough about this building, so much so that I'm already sad about the day we outgrow our 1br!
Cons:
I wish the gym had more weights, stair stepper, and more equipment in general
I also wish the 2 bedrooms were less expensive :( we have a 1BR now and would love to upgrade but not sure it's in our price r
Advice to owner:
Continue to treat your staff and tenants well.

Worst management company
Former Tenant
Pros:
Love the size of our apartment and the neighbors
Cons:
Horrible management. They have threatened us because we refused them access to conduct construction in our apartment without Department of Buildings permits. Thankfully several units stuck together and forced them to obtain mandatory permits. Now they refuse to submit Tenant Protection Plans for occupied units since we will all be home when they conduct this of removing windows. Concealment of problems instead of fixing issues. Loud construction next door. Mold issues. Condensation issues.
Advice to owner:
Get more professional management staff at RAGNY

Great space horrible construction
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great space, amenities and the fact you only pay for electricity. Gym is spacious and clean and the staff are all amazing
Cons:
Horrible construction right next door that will end “expected” in 2025. The noise is going to be worse than you think- starting from 5am well into the night and the construction company openly violates curfew
