Tenant Reviews for 250 W 19TH ST

Building charges top of the market rates without delivering top of the market service: - Rents on unrenovated apartments have risen astronomically in the last 2 years without any real improvement. - Elevators are frequently out of service. - When an entire load of my laundry was destroyed in the dryers, the laundry company Hi-Rise refused to do anything about the claim, and the building should have assisted. - Management team is unresponsive to complaints about noise (loudly barking dogs) and smoke (the building is NOT a non-smoking building, and the ventilation system sucks heavy smoke from adjoining apartments into other apartments). - Management team was very slow to respond and almost hostile when I tried to negotiate a less-astronomical rent increase last year. - Although building staff work hard to hose animal excrement off the sidewalk, the building management team should press residents to walk their animals elsewhere so that the entire front area doesn't smell like feces. - Building management offers free bagels and coffee a few times a year. It would be much more helpful to be responsive to complaints and to improve the quality of life in the building.

I wouldnt rent here. Theres currently scaffolding that has been up for over a year! And its not coming down anytime soon. Also, there are homeless people living near entrance. The building is NOT smoke free and the smoke infiltrates all of the apartments. Its disgusting. Very loud, internally there are a lot of dogs and the barking goes on through the night.

Experience is fine. We just need to solve the elevator issues and quality. Plus bathroom lighting and laundry look. It looks awful. Please don’t force people to write 201 character. ....................................

I have really enjoyed living at 250 w 19th, the community is really friendly and the location is great. The subways that are really accessible and Chelsea is a great area to live. The apartments have been refurbished recently and as a result the kitchen appliances are new and work really well.

Wonderful building would highly recommend to a friend which I already have! The staff have been SO helpful and I could not say enough good things thus far. We have been in the building for two weeks and never want to leave!

Rent is high for the space you get here. Newly renovated apartments are nice with high quality finishes & fixtures, but layouts are small, particularly in the living space. Storage/closet space is good other than a lack of any drawer space in the kitchen. Communal roof deck is a nice addition. On-site staff is great.

250 W. 19th street is a great option if you are looking for accessible luxury in Chelsea. There are plenty of trains nearby ( ACE/F/1), which makes it easy to get around. The street itself is quiet and far west enough to feel tranquil, but also east enough to be accessible to union square, west village, and flatiron. If you enjoy working out, there are GREAT options just a few blocks away including a crunch gym less than 50 feet away. The doorman and super are always very nice and responsive. They follow protocol, but aren’t overly strict and impersonal either. The finishes in the apartment are luxury-ish, but I don’t expect they will look great in five years. My only complaint is the constant construction that was supposed to finish in the summer of 2017, but hasn’t finished yet (Dec.2017).

The apartments are newly renovated and the finishes are top-notch. The apartment doors, emergency stairways, and elevators seem to be all that's left of the old building -- hopefully they will be updated too over time. The building staff and management have been helpful as needed, and we're very happy here.

After viewing many apartments in NYC - 250 W 19th St was the one from first glance! The tour was great, the concierge was friendly, the space was clean and well-kept. The process was all done with such ease!

Slightly above market rate for size location but generally good. A few centralized things need to be fixed - in particular elevators and some of the unit fixtures/finishes are starting to break but that's expected
