Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant experiences with TRIBECA POINTE LLC reveal well-maintained buildings in prime Manhattan locations with clean common areas, friendly doormen, and appealing amenities like great views and gym facilities. However,renters frequently report persistent and disruptive construction lasting years, often with inadequate communication and limited management responsiveness. Many express frustration over steep rent increases and an unaccommodating management approach that exacerbates tenant turnover. Pest issues and occasional utility problems have also been noted. Overall, while the staff on site is praised, the landlord's handling of renovations, tenant concerns, and pricing policies leads to mixed reviews regarding tenant satisfaction and retention.

Great Location, Mediocre Management w/ Shady Price Increases
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location, building is in decent shape. Recent renobations have been nice.
Cons:
cutthroat rent increases, tenants are moving in and out all the time. Our rent has gone up 60% in last two years. Awful.
Massive construction for last five years. Now men are working on fascade indefinitely and roof has been closed indefinitely since last year.
Advice to owner:
Retain tenants instead of this revolving door. It's a shame, as it uproots folks.

Former Tenant
Pros:
Views are epic Doormen and maintenance are amazing Location is perfect for a young family

Management is a nightmare Renovating apartments for 2 years, constant noise and some amenities unavailable Lease renewals are crazy >30% increase

MAKE SURE YOU ARE AWARE...
Former Tenant
Pros:
Doormen are awesome.
Cons:
You just have to see their Yelp page: https://www.yelp.com/biz/tribeca-pointe-new-york-2?osq=41+river+terrace.
...and their Google Review Page: https://www.google.com/search?q=tribeca+pointe&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS886US886&oq=tribeca+pointe&aqs=chrome..69i57j35i39j0i131i433i512j0i512j46i175i199i512j69i60l3.2966j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#
The building now officially has bed bugs, too. See HPD profile here: https://hpdonline.hpdnyc.org/HPDonline/select_application.aspx
Also, there is a full stop work order (go look it's two big stickers at lobby entrance outside) yet they continue to break the law and do construction all over the building to renovate the apts.
Advice to owner:
Stop being so ruthless - stop breaking the law - stop pushing families out of their apts so you can renovate. You won't stop, we know, so we're going to do our best to make sure the world knows how shady you are.

Great Amenities. Nice apartments but not the most modern.
Former Tenant
Pros:
Clean. Great doormen. Good gym. Awesome rooftop. Good study room. Good laundry room. Great apartment views.
Cons:
Lots of construction noise. One of the amenities seems to always been shut down and under construction for some time. Leasing office isn’t super organized sometimes. Bathrooms in the apartment are okay (not bad, but just basic).
Advice to owner:
Improve construction noise and communications with leasing office.

THE WORST APARTMENT
Former Tenant
Pros:
Neighborhood / Water views
Cons:
THEY ARE RENOVATING EVERY APARTMENT . You live with constant drilling . Elevators packed with rude workers and the building does nothing . Most doorman are clueless and takes seven complaints to have them call you before letting strangers including delivery men up to your apartment . Milan the building manager - rude unresponsive and does nothing to help current tenants living in hell.
Advice to owner:
Renovation happens but every day drilling and inhalation of dust etc should be illegal .

Construction Zone
Former Tenant
Pros:
Views, doormen and staff and the location.
Cons:
They’re renovating all units. Yes, every single one of the 340 units and the gym, etc. so, you will live in a construction zone and landlord will do absolutely nothing about it. They’ll tell you it’s in your contract that you signed. Workers in elevators every day. Dust. Water shut off monthly.
Advice to owner:
A sign on the wall and email does not justify renting an unlivable space to renters. For what you charge.

Construction to be going on until 2024
Former Tenant
Pros:
Gorgeous views, building staff is kind and responsive (building management is NOT)
Cons:
-Water tank issues constantly (brown water, full days without water) -Nonstop construction and drilling from 9am-4:30pm, to be throughout the entire year. So loud that things have fallen off shelves on my wall. No notice or support from building. It is not possible to work from home. -Roof closure (not telling people who are resigning/ signing lease) -Unresponsive management
Advice to owner:
Property owner needs to be more responsive and flexible. Very much money hungry owner.

Former Tenant
Pros:
Amazing location. Awesome views and location right in Battery Park
Cons:
Landlord raises rent without concessions. Many inconsiderate neighbors who are living together in groups in small apartments.
Advice to owner:
With more than 50% apt vacancy, owner should lower rents
