Big rent increases
Former Tenant
Pros:
Staff is amazing. Overall great place to live
Cons:
The rent increases make it difficult to feel at home. Rent has increased by almost 60% in 5 years, and even more if you include the covid discounts.

Good life decision, poor financial one
Former Tenant
Pros:
It's a lovely place to live. The units themselves are mostly constructed very well and are comparatively large. Feels like a real community, my dog loves it. It's very... comfortable.
Cons:
My rent increased by 60% in four years. I concede that the first term was atypical (because of COVID depression in the market) and I expected and planned for a significant increase. I did not expect or plan to eventually be given a new lease term where I'm paying $6000+ for this place... The apartments are nice, but there is no version of this world where that's a reasonable amount to ask for. Some idiot will pay it, and they'll point to that and say, "that's market value." But there's nothing spectacular about the building. Certainly nothing has improved with it or my unit.
Objectively it's worse because things decline over time. Every month the water to the whole building is just turned off for a whole day, or the heat doesn't work for a week, etc., etc. It's an old building and maintenance is probably very expensive; they're probably passing that off to renters.
If that is what's going on, they won't be able to keep this up for much longer. I don't know what number is too absurd. I would think that $7100/mo is well beyond that that figure, but right now on their website, that is what they are asking for an 880 sq. ft. 1BR with truly nothing remarkable about it.

Prewar and full of charm
Former Tenant
Pros:
The staff are so friendly, never had a major pest incident (reads: mouse or rat), and you get tons of space. Also can’t beat utilities being included!
Cons:
Some parts of the building and apartments are just old and constantly broken down. There are also quite a few unhoused people always loitering around.

Wonderful, very special complex
Former Tenant
Pros:
Beautiful street, near High Line, incredibly responsive management and maintenance, apartments are very solidly built so very little noise, common areas are spotless at all times, very good security, friendly staff, complex runs seamlessly
Cons:
Dogs take over 24th street so have to step around their mess
Advice to owner:
Clean 24th street more regularly, ensure that tenants curb their dogs

Awesome building to live in.
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great and helpfull staff. Many people seem to be living in the building for 20+ years. Thick walls so no noise complaints either. Very pet friendly building. Gas/electricity included in rent.
Cons:
It's pre-war building, so the water pressure isn't too great. Also the central heating seems to be very high - we had to keep our windows open throughout the whole winter.

We Like Our Alcove Studio
Former Tenant
Pros:
Well-staffed with friendly and professional staff, especially the doormen and package room concierge team. Your get to live in a storied pre-war building that everyone knowns and has a reputation for attracting artists, designers, and other creatives, as well as a few celebrities over the years (though they most likely lived in the co-op apartments and not the rentals). Steps from the High Line and a decent amount of good restaurants and retail. Prices feel fair and Rose Associates management quality is above average (I also personally think it's better to have an institutional property manager than to rent from an individual or mom-and-pop landlord in NYC).
Cons:
Pre-war building comes with the typical issues: old heating system is hard to adjust, apartments have been turned dozens of times and there's some sloppy painting and/or finishes in different spots.
