Great maintenance and love the building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Maintenance quick to respond. Super lives in building and is very reasonable and responsive. Building is very well maintained. Doormen are great. Lots of laundry machines, only day it gets full is Sundays. Packages safely stored until pickup. Never had any issues with pests or ac/heat after living here for a year.
Cons:
They don’t let food delivery up to your door, which may be annoying but adds to the building safety.

A good spot for hospital employees
Former Tenant
Pros:
The building manager is fantastic, most of the doormen are super nice, package and mail delivery is simple and easy. The building is very clean and well maintained, any maintenance requests are dealt with very quickly
Cons:
One of the people who worked the front desk was so mean and passive aggressive I took the back door whenever I heard her at the front entrance. I had a conversation with her where she vented to me about how she had been pinching her young kids when she was frustrated. Moving away from her was a huge relief.

The building owner/corporate management company Halstead is also a bit skep- they lost my rent for a few months in 2020 (I sent a check, the money was removed from my bank account, but management couldn’t find the money) and tried to get me to pay double rent for their mistake, they sent lease renewals extremely late, and they have not yet returned my security deposit more than 1 month after vacating
Advice to owner:
Armand deserves a raise, he’s excellent at his job

One of the nicer buildings I’ve lived in
Former Tenant
Pros:
Management and maintenance workers are so efficient and responsive- you submit a service request and they are knocking on your door within 2 hours to fix it. Doormen are lovely. Building is always clean and well maintained. Very nice lobby and laundry room. Elevators are always readily available.
Cons:
I’ve never run into a problem but the surrounding area is a tad bit sketchy at times. It is close to a men’s homeless shelter on 1st Ave and Bellevue hospital.
Advice to owner:
None. Keep up the good work.
