“Pros: Very responsive management system Cons: The outdoor area near trash disposal is smelling bad yearlong”

“Pros: clean good management and timely. Not much to do around but the park is great. Mog mog fish shop is 10 minutes away Cons: for 4 elevators it was pretty slow”

“Unit 1101 Pros: The doormen and staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. I loved my apartment - incredibly spacious and plenty of natural light. There were never had any major issues, and for the one minor issue of only having lukewarm water in the shower one morning, I told the doorman on my way to work and management identified the problem and sent out an email notifying those affected of them working on it within an hour. The building itself doesn’t have the most amazing amenities (only a small gym), but it usually was empty. Lastly, the lease signing process was very easy and the leasing office was helpful. Cons: Not a con, but only an unknown - we will see how easily my security deposit is returned once I move out. Obviously, don’t move here if you want to be close to nightlife, since the neighborhood is not big on it, but I love it since it’s quiet at night.”

“Pros: responsive maintenance and i didn't encounter major issues; nice view; good sound insulation; good for families, nice neighborhood (good italian bakery just beside!); reasonable electricity bill Cons: the gym is a bit small; sometimes you could hear the motorcycle down the street (though i lived on 30+ floor); the 7 train on vernon-blvd might stop service and you have to walk 20+min to queesnboro”

“Pros: Management is responsive Front desk is so kind Cons: A bit far from the train Advice to landlord: No major advice”

“Pros: modern apartments, waterfront Cons: yearly rent increases, some rude staff Advice to landlord: stop increasing the rent every year and don't charge an amenities fee”

“Pros: Such a great location and the staff are all amazing. Apartments are very well maintained. Our hallway was very quiet. Using the facilities across the street at 4545 was our favorite part! Cons: The heating/cooling system in our apartment would go on the fritz any time we switched from one mode to another (so from AC to heating or vice versa). Our unit was repaired once and then replaced, and it still happened. We were told this was a defect in the batch of units they ordered. Ultimately it didn't cause us too much trouble but we did have to ask maintenance to help us at the beginning of the seasons where we would make that transition.”

“Pros: Nice city view and great neighborhood Cons: The interior floor texture is matte wooden veneer, sometime hard to clean. Especially for bathroom”

“Pros: Great location, friendly and helpful staff, great layouts and very good finishes Cons: Sometimes there is elevator traffic due to an elevator being out of service, and just because of the sheer size of the building. It mostly happens during rush hour. Some neighbors are not clean and clutter the hallways, leaving garbage bags and other items outside their doors, sometimes storing items outside. Advice to landlord: Enforce hallway cleanlinliness compliance from residents”

“Pros: Small-ish, fast elevator, friendly and professional doorman, very organized, quick maintenance, beautiful views, dog friendly Cons: No in-building gym or amenities, a little far from the subway (but not bad) Advice to landlord: Use real paint on the walls. They get smudged so easily.”

“Pros: Clean, new, wonderful doormen and staff, location is beautiful, very responsive management. Cons: Far from the subway, cold and windy in the winter due to being close to the water, no inexpensive grocery stores close by.”

“Pros: Very responsive management company, amazing location, great AC, very friendly front entrance staff, cannot hear neighbors Cons: sometimes the lobby smells like garbage”

“Pros: Not much at all Cons: Apartment given in disgusting condition after lying about cleaning it. Each call made to landlord about heat, exit door problems, refridgerator issues was met with excuses and arguments. Also was just walking into my apartment unannounced in the end "because the realtor is here and they want to take pictures." Upon leaving they claim that it was left worse than given (not possible as the bathroom took 12 full scrutiny downstairs to be useable) and is just looking to take my security deposit any way possible. Advice to landlord: Get another job because all the tenants complain about you.about”

“Pros: Very responsive in fixing things, walls are well insulated to prevent hearing noise from neighbors and the building staff is lovely Cons: Elevator wait is long, the wall unit does not heat or cool the room well, the blinds are old school and don't prevent light at all. The issue is you can't install your own blinds as you are not allowed to drill into the metal of the window frame and you can't drill into the ceiling. The windows are too wide for pressure rods. Ivan the leasing manager can't be trusted and goes back on his word all the time (I am saying this having living in two different units and saw peoples interactions with him for two other units). Advice to landlord: Use newer blinds that roll and blackout light.”

“Pros: Basic luxury building. Doorman/package handling. Clean laundry room for units without laundry in unit. Doesn’t have perks other TFC buildings nearby has like a rooftop or private courtyard. Expect to pay luxury prices. No pests thankfully Cons: Cold water not cold in the morning just room temp. Building issue Advice to landlord: Fix water temperature issue”

“Unit 601 Pros: Location is great! Neighborhood is safe. Cons: It’s expensive and unstable with pricing Advice to landlord: Be nicer to paying tenets”

“Pros: Clean, nice views Cons: Crowded downstairs due to the restaurant, very far from subway and shuttle is unreliable”

“Pros: The doormen are all friendly and lovely. Management is super responsive - our fridge was replaced within twenty minutes of us filing a maintenance request, and they gave us a brand new fridge! Package room is nice and secure, area is wonderful Cons: I wish we had an in unit washer dryer. The washers in the laundry rooms aren’t the best and the card system is pretty annoying to use - have to add credit online but then take your card to a physical machine to get the credit added. That’s basically it for cons. I do wish we had a pool, but that’s the only other thing.”

“Pros: - The building staff were all great, and a pleasure to deal with or see in the building. - Building Link App made managing maintenance, visitor requests, etc, extremely easy and hassle free - Shuttle to Vernon-Jackson subway when I was commuting to manhattan - Location, location, location! Can't beat LIC waterfront living right at the Pepsi sign + Ferry stop! - The LIE i+ Midtown tunnel are right nearby, with the 59th street bridge and RFK not far north - Hotel bellhop style carts to help get your heavy and massive bags and packages up to your apartment Cons: I don't have many cons about living here, I enjoyed my time spent living here. - I would say that not having the amenities in the building was the biggest "con" -- the gym, lounge/work/party hosting area, roof deck, volleyball / tennis courts were all across the street at 4545 center - Parking: if you have a vehicle, street parking is a nightmare, especially since on-street dining became a thing during the pandemic - Blend on the Water is right at the base of the property, so Thursday - Sunday evenings can get crowded and a bit loud during the evenings, mostly during Summertime Advice to landlord: Keep up the good work, and also try not to increase pricing too much over the coming years so that I can consider a move back.”

“Pros: neighborhood, apartment, staff Cons: barely any central heating and cooling”

“Pros: The apartments are gorgeous, with great appliances and amazing views. Cons: 80% of the units in this building are affordable housing. If you’re in the 20% of chumps paying market rate, you get absolutely nothing extra for your inflated rent and get to deal with 80% of your neighbors being rude. The building staff are ok but you don’t get as many services here as you would in other doorman buildings (the doormen will not open doors for you, no matter how much you are struggling with a heavy load, for example). Amenities are quite poor and you have to pay extra, even if you are a market rate tenant. The building does nothing special to thank its residents ever. The lobby is small and cramped and is not dog friendly. Building staff scream and cuss in the lobby while they are working. Soundproofing is not so great - I can hear the baby crying next door and frequently hear the upstairs neighbors running and jumping. Advice to landlord: Make it worthwhile for your market rate tenants.”

“Pros: The building staff are very nice. Maintenance is really quite fast. Modern interior. Cons: Only bad thing is probably that it's about a 10 min walking distance to the nearest subway station,”

“Pros: The doormen and maintenance staff are beyond amazing. In terms of noise levels, I hear nothing! No more upstairs walking keeping me up at night. Very clean, and I feel extremely safe. Great location as well. Cons: There have been a few things here and there I would ask be improved upon. An example, a mega-load dryer that never works and after multiple requests from lots of residents, still nothing. But I understand in the scheme of things this is minor and doesn’t reflect the building staff but the corporate management company.”

“Pros: Very Clean units Cons: Unfortunately No doorman”

“Pros: Amazing door-staff and clean building Cons: Cabinets are poor quality”

“Pros: Have searched for other places but can't find anything as good as our place Cons: A/C keeps breaking (happened 4x in the 3 years) but they come right away to replace/fix it”

“Pros: Clean, quiet, and well maintained Cons: A bit far from the 7 train”

“Pros: Building is clean, well run and mgmt is responsive. Staff is pleasant, helpful, 24 hour service. Apartments are clean, updated, pest/bug free. Very good experience living here. Cons: There can be an elevator wait time + building should switch to mobile intercom system. Advice to landlord: The staff is lovely, mgmt was responsive, thank you for a great experience.”

“Pros: Overall cleanliness & atmosphere Maintenance team always available on site Safety protocol Friendly staff Subway shuttle Amenities Cons: Restaurant below loud on weekends Constant moving in and out”

“Pros: I’ve been here 5 years. Reliable management, clean, quiet, perfect location. Cons: amenity fees. Rents are high. Advice to landlord: They should permanently waive amenity fees. Reduce rents.”

“Pros: Amazing responsive staff. I have zero complaints and I’m grateful every day for living here! Cons: Nothing I can think of. Advice to landlord: Keep doing what you’re doing!”

“Pros: Door staff very good Cons: Not many amenities Advice to landlord: No advice for owner.”

“Pros: Attentive staff. Well managed. Cons: No complaints. Sometimes noisy outside on weekend nights due to restaurant crowds, but really not an issue. Advice to landlord: Keep doing what you are doing.”

“Pros: Great management, well maintained building. Easy ferry access. Cons: Neighborhood could still use additional retail development. Advice to landlord: Keep up the good work.”
