Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Tenants of GOLD STREET PROPERTIES LP praise the friendly and helpful doorman staff who contribute to a welcoming atmosphere. The building's location is considered excellent, close to transit and localamenities. However, persistent issues include poor pest control with frequent roach and rodent infestations, and slow or unresponsive management when handling maintenance requests. Cleanliness and building upkeep vary, with many complaints about outdated fixtures, mold, and broken elevators or laundry machines. Rent increases and security deposit disputes are common concerns, alongside a management style often described as rude or unprofessional. Prospective renters should weigh the affordable rents against these ongoing challenges.
The average number of violations per unit for this owner/associates across their portfolio is better than the city.

Great location - lame super
Former Tenant
Pros:
The location is fantastic, right by the Fulton station hub, WTC, The Seaport etc. Doormen are great, especially Willson and Juan Carlo. Rent is affordable for the area. Radiator heat that is working well
Cons:
The super is not the friendliest. When there is heavy rain there are leaks. Repair requests may take a while
Advice to owner:
Replace the super. Be more communicative

Good location - Terrible management
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great location, close to trains and tourist sites, gas heat that works well, has a 24/7 doorman (all of them are very friendly). Building staff is great.
Cons:
Old building that gets water damage. Super is mean and unfriendly. They charge a $350 pet fee. The property manager Donald has zero customer service skills and is scammy. Many tenants who leave having issues getting their security deposits back
Advice to owner:
Should reward good long lasting tenants. Offer to update apartments when renewing leases. Have some social skills.

33 gold street
Former Tenant
Pros:
Will start off by saying the staff including the doormen and porters are super nice. The rent price for the size of the apartment is cheaper than what you can get around it in the area. There’s laundry on every floor instead of in the basement.
Cons:
The apartments dirty and have very cheap appliances and fixtures. The building takes awhile to respond to maintenance requests. The management office is just plain rude, don’t even bother emailing them. The building is very dark and not very pleasant, though they are starting to update it.

Fine for the Price
Former Tenant
Pros:
- Lots of space for reasonable rent - Dog-friendly - Doormen are great
Cons:
- My bathroom ceiling literally started caving in in 2021 due to a leak above me, and I had to pester the super relentlessly in order to get a response lol and even then they didn't fix it all in one trip so I had to keep reminding them repeatedly that someone still needed to come fix my ceiling - Cockroaches took over my apartment and no matter what I couldn't get rid of them. I hope they're enjoying my empty unit now
Advice to owner:
More/quicker responsiveness to maintenance requests!!!!

No Gold Here!
Former Tenant
Pros:
By all the trains and the doormen.
Cons:
Thurcon is a shady company and is known in NYC for its cons and how they work with this one particular insurent to take people's money. Not only are all the apartments dark with no natural sunlight, but they make their workers fix-up apartments in the dark, but they are also too cheap to keep the lights on so their workers can work, no wonder all the fixtures are falling apart, they are working on them in the dark. They do not fix anything, the complex has a rating of a D, (it's on the entrance doorway).
