Tenant Reviews for 95 WALL STREET

BEFORE YOU APPLY TO LIVE HERE: I REQUEST YOU TO PLEASE READ THIS REVIEW!

Pros: THIS PLACE IS A SCAM, AND YOU SHOULD NOT GIVEN THEM YOUR MONEY EVEN IF ITS JUST THE AN APPLICATION DEPOSIT! PLEASE DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID! Cons: I filled out an apartment application with 95 Wall Street, Apartment 1417, on March 21, 2023, and paid a $20.00 Non-refundable Application Fee and a separate refundable (as stated in Application Terms and Agreements - Paragraph 5) $1000.00 lease-holding reservation deposit. On March 22, 2023, I needed assistance with uploading supporting documents to the building’s portal (which is repeatedly bugging and not working properly) to move forward with my application. I got on the phone with Ryan from the 95 Wall Leasing Office, who refused to help, was verbally abusive towards me, stated that he will just "cancel the application" on the phone, and abruptly hung up. The building stated they canceled my application but has refused to send physical documentation of the cancellation. Furthermore, despite canceling my application, the building has not refunded the 1000.000 reservation deposit. They stated they "credited back" the $1000.00 to my card but also refuse to provide physical documentation of the refund. I have made numerous attempts to contact the building to speak with someone on the phone to resolve this distressing issue but have been subject to continuous disparaging behavior from the building. I've spent over 6 weeks now in agonizing stress and anxiety, because UDR and 95 wall street specializes in fraud and scamming of innocent people. Again, my application was yet to be processed, no lease was signed, and this was a reservation deposit that the building liable to return to the applicant if the application is canceled by the building. This entire process has been outrageous, unfair, unlawful and quite frankly: the highest form of fraud. PLEASE DO NOT DO NOT APPLY TO LIVE HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE REPEATEDLY SCAMMED AND HAVE $1000 TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON!

Over priced dorm

Pros: Good area with a lot of places to eat and hang out Cons: It’s not completely safe even if there is a doorman. The doorman’s mostly flirt with the tenants, I’ve seen a lot of people pass through without being checked because of this. Their policies almost feel like it’s on a case by case basis. When you file a complaint they do the bare minimum to address it. Since they handle your water and electricity (instead of going through ConEd for example) the pricing is confusing and they hike it up. When you put in a work order through their app for a broken appliance or plumbing or anything in general it can take days for them to respond unless you call them which defeats the purpose of the app. Lots of fees that is for sure just to get more money out of you.

Bedbug problem

Pros: Amenities, doorman, location Cons: Bedbug infestation in my apartment. Nobody resolved the problem. They need to send help until the apartment is bedbug free. Staff can be rude when you request help with any broken things in the apartment. Package room guy can be rude. Advice to landlord: Actually continusly solve the problem

Lived here for 2 years

Pros: Front desk, maintenance, and package room crew are great Cons: Took a while to respond to maintenance requests

Quiet and clean building, responsive staff,

Pros: Lived here for 2 years - its clean, quiet, good location, gym is decent size & clean and rarely packed - has good machines, the doormen are 24/7 mostly friendly, maintenance staff is very responsive and friendly - they'll fix anything with 24 hours usually. The walls and doors are THICK - I rarely had issues with noisy neighbors because the doors and walls seem to insulate sound very well. Water pressure is insanely strong. the roof terrace is nice for summer/fall, not open during winter or early spring. Duane Reade nearby is 24/7. The units themselves have good appliances except for the heat/AC - there's no temperature control/thermostat, so you have to set them manually with a dial and they dont turn off/on automatically. Every unit has washer dryer. The studio apartments are huge and you can flex them into 3 bedrooms. the 1 bedrooms are large too and could easily flex into a 2. Package room is secure and privately run and the staff are very helpful - they also offer dry cleaning and other services there. most people in the building are young, like mid 20s to mid 30s and keep to themselves mostly - everyone seems to be young professionals. if you're looking to make friends in the building you might have a hard time but then again I never really tried. Didn't have any issues with neighbors smoking or partying. Cons: Even though it's a "luxury" building, I think the price you're paying is really for the location. The units themselves are not necessarily luxurious per se, considering the kitchens and bathrooms are sort of outdated by 2023 luxury standards. The marble in the bathroom and kitchen needs refinishing, the cabinetry is cheap veneer/particle board, the floors are veneer - not true hard wood, windows are outdated, light fixtures are outdated - that being said for a normal building all these things are adequate but if you're expecting luxury, then I would be weary. elevators are often broken or just seem slow(?), not much natural light in the units and the dark floors and cabinets make them even darker - but this depends on which direction your apartment faces. The apartments don't have a proper oven, it's a convection oven/microwave, but I think you can get this changed out for a real oven but they charge you for that. The washer/dryer in unit is great, but they're pretty small so you can either do a bunch of loads, or use the big communal washer/dryer on the 16th floor. The leasing staff is responsive and capable but don't expect any kind of favors - they're very strict about policies, which I supposed could be good or bad. Currently the building is rent stabilized by I believe at the end of 2023 that will expire and thus rent could go up a lot from one year to the next. package room is only open 830-5 so if you're working then it can be hard to get packages - although they are open Saturdays which helps.

Great Experience

Unit 400 Pros: All of the staff is wonderful and attentive. Most service requests are answered quickly and solved. Cons: Hallway carpeting isn’t always thoroughly cleaned, but apart from that the building is pretty well-kept. Advice to landlord: Carpet cleaning the halls would be awesome!

Comfortable enough overall

Pros: It’s comfortable and the units are nice Cons: Lots of 20-30 year olds. A bit noisy

Meh

Pros: Maintenance staff, generally good neighbors, dog friendly, great apt, big windows Cons: Leasing office support, airbnb, corporate housing, crime rate within building is out of control (affectionately known around the neighborhood as the Murder Building), cops here all the time, squatters, trashed hallways daily, elevator delays up to 15 min, dog poop on roof, broken rec room, small recycle bin for whole floor Advice to landlord: Do better

Nice units but not safe and poorly managed

Pros: Nice units, nice finishes, big bright windows, in unit washer dryer, and overall nice amenities (roof, gym, etc) Cons: Doormen don’t stop people coming in - they just let anyone into the building and into the elevator..especially at night which is concerning given all the crime around the area and homeless people. They’re also very rude and condescending when you inquire about it. The building also airbnbs units so you have strangers in and out constantly..concerning given the headlines of what happened in the building Fall of 2021 (google it); you also can’t get your packages outside of 8:30-5:30, which is when most people are at work; you also don’t have an “Auto” setting for the AC units, so it’s either on or off…which isn’t great in summer or winter when you have Pets at home while you’re at the office. Advice to landlord: For the amount of money we pay and the type of building, residents expect this place to be run as the “luxury” building you advertise. Get new doormen and put stricter policies in place on how they run the front door. Also putting a key fab system in the elevator would eliminate random people roaming through the building. Fix the package retrieval system as well.
