Tenant Reviews for 90 WEST STREET

There are constructions going on all sides of the building. Good news is that you don't need an alarm clock (jackhammering starts right around 7am). The bad news is there are all kinds of dust and debris flying around all the time. The management's response to all this is to kindly telling tenants to "keep your windows closed!"

I've lived in 90 West for almost 4 years but will be moving out of NYC, otherwise I would stay longer. I've lived in two units within the building, one on the north side facing the WTC site and currently live on the West Side facing the river. I agree with previous posters that the noise of the site is annoying if you live on the north side. However, if you pick to live next to a construction site, it is to be expected. The building has very thick glass in the windows for this reason and if you ever open your windows its truly amazing how much noise does not reach inside the apartment. Management has been very accommodating allowing me to move within the building a few days before my lease ended on the current apartment. Also I had painted the walls in the first unit and I was not charged to have them repainted white and received my full security deposit back. Yes Lee can seem offputting because he always appears stressed out. And while the flood of 2007 was trying since no one really knew a lot of information, it was not building management's fault and at least for me the Port Authority settlement more than adequately covered my troubles. I have consistently found the doormen and maintenance to be very helpful and any issues are fixed within one day. Louis the doorman goes out of his way to help tenants and even lent me a chair from the valet on thanksgiving when I was short one chair.

Truly a special historic building. I lived in a 1 bedroom overlooking ground zero. My apartment was beautiful. high ceilings, new modern finishes, large windows with lots of light coming in, and 2 walk in closets. The gym is very cosy. In addition to the physical beauty of the property, the building's management was wonderful. The area in general keeps getting better. There are lots of nice restaurants, the park, the river, nice stores, and a movie theatre all walking distance. For personal reasons I relocated to Chelsea but when my lease expires I'm thinking of moving back to 90 west. Its a shame having read some of the negative remarks that more people with positive comments like myself and my previous neighbors do not take the time to write about their positive experiences within the building. some people just like to complain and I bet their complaints would occur in any building. If you are looking for an apartment downtown, I truly recommend 90 west. its a GEM!

This has the be worst building you can pick to live in It is over priced with the worst mangement team you could imagine. The elevators are constantly broken and the apartments are falling apart. Yes they have a gym but the equipment is old and outdated and dangerous. As for the noise it is impossible to describe. It is like living at a construction site and this goes on all hours of the night Finally the mangement company lied to us when we were leaving and essentially stole our security deposit. DO NOT LIVE THERE!!!!!!!
