Great building but unsafe
Pros
The amenities are wonderful, although the pool and grills were often crowded. Things got fixed quickly. We liked our building appliances and finishes.
Cons
The location is convenient for trains but quite depressing otherwise. The area is dangerous and chaotic, between traffic at night and homeless or unwell people during the day. Until we moved away, I didn’t realize how stressful it was. Specific to the building: there was a shooting that the building covered up. They announced the shooter was gone, while in reality he was still residing there, months later. (Timeline in attached screenshots). The building was unable to evict other mentally unstable and unwell tenants who threatened other tenants. Safety and health were not a priority.
Advice to the owners
Ban guns. Do not allow “legal owners of guns” to keep them in their homes. Be firmer about screening and criteria for residents
Stunning views on the Statue of Liberty / skyline
Pros

Cons

Advice to the owners
