Pros: Building management and maintenance respond quickly and help with repairs. Exterminator comes regularly. Right across the street from Central Park. Dishwasher and W/D in unit. Great views and large windows. New gym is small but convenient! 24 hour doorman + hub lockers. Cons: Even with exterminator here twice a month there are still consistently roaches and larger problem that isn’t solved. 1 elevator is often down causing elevator traffic. Issues sometimes with hot water and water pressure. Older building so fixings are usually bandaids. Building has been under construction for our entire 2 years here and schedules are consistently delayed disrupting access to amenities, balconies, etc. Advice to landlord: Fix serious cockroach issues, clean hallways and common spaces better and more often.

Unit 11H Pros: Close to a lot of transportation, and very close to Central park Cons: Building management is horrendous. They are impossible to get ahold of, and will not fix anything that is wrong in the building or apartments. For example, we were rented a unit that was advertised with a dishwasher, which did not work when we moved in and it took them almost 4 months and multiple correspondences for them to even come out and look at it. When we complained about mold in the bathrooms, their response was to simply paint over it. Their lack of care shows in the building. Advice to landlord: Be more responsive, and actually take care of the tenants in the buildings

Pros: Across the street from Central Park Cons: Garbage lined up on side of building. Stinks horrifically - rat fest. Entrance is covered by scaffolding - tenant allow dogs to urinate on base of scaffolding, so all you smell is urine when walking along path to enter - gross. Landlord sent lease renewal requesting a 40% rent increase - BEWARE. Advice to landlord: Contain the garbage, respond to ALL tenants.

Pros: -Elevator building -Most units were upgraded and renovated with new floors, paint, door fixtures and nice large stainless steel appliances: fridge, gas stove/oven, microwave, dishwasher -In-unit washer dryer in some units - new & high efficiency. Pay Laundry room in building as well where you can pay & keep track of your wash cycle time through your phone - Nice bathrooms & kitchen with large sinks, new fixtures & cabinet space -Lots of cabinet and closet space - Large kitchen and living room - large windows in living room + master bedroom, nice views if you are on the southwest/park facing side -Air-conditioning units included -No pest problems in renovated units Cons: - No amazon locker or gym & lobby amenities in the building even though they advertise it is coming soon, that is for the neighbor building and it is behind schedule, taking over a year -Shower water pressure - Small windows in some rooms (but renovations happening soon) - Noisy due to massive construction on neighboring tower buildings, on other units in building and by being right by a hospital zone with ambulances coming by. *Noise will get worse in 2022 & 2023 when they start construction on the facade & renovating the small windows into bigger ones -they plan on doing this while residents are still living in the units -Few outlets in bedrooms - Front door is always open & unlocked because the buzzer system has not been implemented in over 1 year, they have been saying since 2021 that is is coming soon, so if packages get left at the front they can get stolen -Doorman/Security doesn't really check who in coming into the building or ask anyone to sign in, so anyone can walk in -Multiple apartments have noted package theft on multiple occasions -Building heat/thermostat is managed by a different company who arent that available - apartments can get cold in the winter even when the heat is on as there is a limit -weird smell in one of the elevators that never goes away due to the trash chute being next to it Advice to landlord: Dont market this as a luxury building, it has no luxuries. Hire another Property Management staff - they are trying their best, but overwhelmed with only 2 Managers having to deal with so many units in this building and the neighboring ones, so they can be slow to respond to issues that aren't immediately urgent like a water leak. More building resident meetings to keep up to date on the status of all the construction happening and the buzzer systems

Pros: The views, location Cons: The construction that has been going on since one year & was suppose to last only for several months. When we signed our lease we were promised a gym, business area, bike racks, & all sorts of amenities. We moved out & the building has yet to have these amenities open to the residents. The elevators are finally fixed after one year. We moved out since the water shut downs, leaks, roaches, mold. The residents fighting, carrying weapons, pit bulls fighting in the hallways, NO HEAT during the winter months, spent the entire winter calling 311. Unsanitary conditions for the amount of rent they ask for. It’s not safe for any persons besides African American or Hispanic. Love everyone but we did not feel welcome here. Advice to landlord: Please clean up your apartments, stop using poor quality materials. Visit the site & see for yourself. Have a stay inside your apartments. Upgrade security, stop deceiving new residents, The construction should not have happen with people living inside the building. Too many electrical FIRES!!!! Yes FIRE caused by negligence.

Pros: Neighbors are friendly, nice location and the views are great. Cons: They are currently doing construction on the building so the elevators are constantly not working, the water has to be shut off about 2x a month from 10a-4p. Advice to landlord: Maintenance of the elevators.
