Pros: great doormen/staff on site Cons: it’s just okay. we got in with covid pricing and will be leaving before our lease renews. this is definitely not the luxury building it’s advertised as.

Pros: Nice appliances and basement laundry & gym - not nearly as gross/spooky as a lot of other nyc basements. Decent place to live if you are young/recently out of school, lot of kids in their 20s. Management was pretty good, easy to get in touch with and usually had someone onsite in the building’s office throughout the day. Cons: Had one very rodent incident, management sent someone to help a few hrs later - which is pretty good for a no fee rental bldg. Pretty loud block and apartment - there are a lot of young people partying in the building and busy bars on the corner plus hospital a few block away so sirens are frequent. Doormen are pretty unhelpful.

Pros: - Proximity to Trader Joe’s and bars - Doormen are great, especially Terrance - If you take pictures of your apartment when moving in and out, and request a check out walk through with maintenance (do this on video), you can get your security deposit back (albeit potentially having to threaten legal action). If you do not do this, I wouldn’t count on getting it back even if your apartment is in better shape then before you rented it Cons: Management doesn’t respond to issues for weeks at a time and consistently lied to us through email and on the phone when they did respond (this was a common theme and issue with Safia, who I believe is the head building manager). Had to email CEO and COO of equity residential to get a response for a bug issue after no help for over a month and many emails and calls. 4th floor apartment has massive parties 3-4 nights a week from 11pm-4am with loud music, screaming, smell of weed and other drugs and even 15-20 people during covid. Property owner didn’t do anything even after multiple complaints and advised calling the police when there were parties instead of the doormen.... I will never again and will never allow anyone I know to move into an equity residential apartment Advice to landlord: Get your shit together. Kick out tenants that make other tenants’ life a living hell. Respond to tenants maintenance requests and update the units so there aren’t so many. We had broken dishwashers, refrigerator (twice and all the food spoiled), toilet plumbing, bugs and cockroaches.

Pros: The doormen (especially Terrence) are some of the sweetest people you will meet. The maintenance team is great as well. Laundry room & service in the lobby Views/light Ability to flex your apartment Proximity to Trader Joe’s & Target Cons: *Everything else- management is AWFUL. Non-responsive. *Lease increases by 10-15% a year (pre-Covid and currently) *Everything is broken- the apartments aren’t updated they’re jerryrigged so there’s always a a leak, a break, a malfunction *Noise is off the charts- neighbors treat this like a frat house and even tho it’s no smoking pot fills the hallways on weekends *homeless community lives in the Duane reade archway under the building and if you look at an apartment overlooking the courtyard be prepared for noise all day Advice to landlord: Update your units, take care of current residents, make lease raises manageable and enforce noise/smoking rules so the property doesn’t become a party house which kicks out all respectable tenants

Pros: doormen are extremely sweet and friendly, package service good. Cons: Where to start. We have submitted no less than 50 maintenance requests since moving in here. This place is a dump and the management simply don't care. We have had cockroaches, security concerns, and a flooding of our bathroom and bedroom hallways and they simply do not care. Do not give them any of your money. Advice to landlord: Care about your tenants. Update your apartments so things stop breaking, stop charging so much and then not making it worth it.
