90 JOHN STREET CONDO BOARD OF MANAG · avg 3.3 ★★★★★ · New York City
“Pros: staff great love htem Cons: managment not so good Advice to landlord: watch for managment”
— 90 JOHN STREET · Manhattan“Unit 1013 Pros: I lived in the renovated lower floors and the windows are surprisingly soundproofed for being so close to the street, water pressure is good, new appliances are nice Cons: Elevators break frequently, sound proofing between apts is not great and I can hear my neighbors fighting and their dog barking constantly. Floors are actually lower than the seem. Apts start on 9th floor which is actually the 3rd. Building is extremely dark and gets no light (to be expected with this street), you can tell corners were cut in building this place and a lot of the work was sloppy. They also offer concessions but will raise your rent off the true base rent so it can be a $400+ jump a month”
— 90 JOHN STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Good location, front desk ppl nice Cons: Management not great, super not responsive, handyman not great, water never consistently works. Close to a nightmare tbh Advice to landlord: Actually be better people and care about your tenants”
— 90 JOHN STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Proximity to nearly every subway line Rare to hear neighbors Conveniently located No real issues with pests Cons: Laundry is a major inconvenience, multiple washers and dryers are always broken and sometimes aren’t labeled so you won’t know until after paying. Elevators constantly having issues”
— 90 JOHN STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Doorman are so kind. The garbage management is great if I leave something out it’s gonna immediately. There is always somebody who works for the building Cons: The laundry room sucks. The card system is outdated and the machine machines are often broken. Usually at least one elevator is broken. The appliances are a little on the cheaper end and my microwave has broken twice. During the summer there are a lot of silverfish.”
— 90 JOHN STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Front desk is super nice garbage person is very good, garbage room is clean good room temp control system Cons: Silverfish infestation - constantly coming from baseboards, bathroom, and kitchen. Management has not addressed this building-wide pest problem. Extreme static electricity - getting shocked constantly throughout the building, even by my own apartment door. No natural light - scaffolding has been up for years, blocking sunlight and views. Laundry machines is very bad quality Uneven floors - noticeable slope, furniture wobbles.”
— 90 JOHN STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Roof and terrace access Nice doormen Easy mail access Good ac and heat - room control Cons: Elevators are always broken Laundry room needs updating”
— 90 JOHN STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Live in super - reliable and quick maintenance Closets come with build ins - ample closet space spacious studio units great water pressure and a/c building maintains heat well extremely convenient building from each train and plenty of stores nearby Cons: F rated energy efficiency no sunlight at all mail room only open during 8-6pm and closed on Sundays roaches inconsistently were an issue... saw the list for multiple tenants so definitely a building issue. had to buy raid and reapply. exterminator sucked No lighting in bedroom Hallways/laundry room are lowkey scary - only appealing in the lobby Laundry room is a mess... cleaned nightly but also horrifying. ceiling falling down”
— 90 JOHN STREET · Manhattan“Pros: bathroom has good mirror, electric stove, nice doormans Cons: Heavy silverfish infestation, the owner keeps ignore the emails Advice to landlord: very bad management team”
— 90 JOHN STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Newly remodeled building. Units pretty large for the price and layouts are good Cons: Moinian is pushy when you are viewing the apartments to get them filled, but incredibly unresponsive when you try to reach out to them. Emails can go weeks or months without getting clear answers. The laundry rooms are dirty and messy. Laundry machines are not regularly cleaned or maintenanced so there is mold growing in the washers. The dryers get so hot I’ve seen some cycles start to smoke. Machines are constantly broken so the rooms never have all the machines functional at any given time. The lobby is newly remodeled but the hallways are dim and outdated. The lobby also does not have properly heating or cooling so it’s an oven in the summer and a freezer in the winter. The elevators are constantly broken, I’ve never seen all four functioning at the same time and you can need to wait up to 10 mins for an elevator. Advice to landlord: Manage and maintain your buildings property and train your staff how to answer emails.”
— 90 JOHN STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Convenient location near transportation Cons: No help in mitigating roaches, elevators don't work half the time, there's no sign on the building so it's impossible for others to find the building Advice to landlord: Fix the roaches + resposiveness”
— 90 JOHN STREET · Manhattan“Unit 1902 Pros: The building is well maintained and the staff are friendly. Cons: The laundry facility is terrible - machines are always breaking down and the prices keep going up. You can never get a hold of management when you want to ask a question. The elevators are constantly taken out of service and in need of replacement. Advice to landlord: Assess the laundry room facilities, hold the management team accountable to responsiveness. Consider a long term solution for the elevator break downs.”
— 90 JOHN STREET · Manhattan“Pros: -nice updated units -good staff -clean building Cons: -management never responds -increased rent too much Advice to landlord: Respond to tenants”
— 90 JOHN STREET · Manhattan“Pros: In a great location! Cons: Elevators are somehow always under service and management is very slow at responding to emails.”
— 90 JOHN STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Actual apartment is very nice. The building is well kept. Doormen are very nice. Maintenance is quick and efficient Cons: Elevators are always broken. Expect to wait in long lines to get on the elevator. Scaffolding has been covering for the building for over 4 years with no intention on coming down. Management is unorganized. The email service when you receive a package has been down for months and they never sent a building notification. Apartments are overpriced. I would never recommend someone to move in.”
— 90 JOHN STREET · Manhattan“Pros: close to trains Cons: had scaffolding up the entire time we lived there so we couldn't access the balcony, they shut down the lobby for renovations so we had to use the maintenance entrance where all the trash and rats were. The doormen were never by the door to open it or greet you but at a stand towards the back so anyone could come and go, this was not their fault but if you are paying for a "luxury doorman" building then you should at least be able to see them or be able to enter the door after hours without having to buzz in and wait for them to open it for you.”
— 90 JOHN STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Good location. Quiet neighborhood. Cons: Hallways smell musty. Advice to landlord: NA”
— 90 JOHN STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Nice lobby and decently nice doormen Cons: Very under construction and it is LOUD especially very early in the morning. Don’t expect a response from management or corporate, they will literally ignore you. Advice to landlord: Try harder”
— 90 JOHN STREET · Manhattan“Pros: The location in Fidi was good! Cons: Do not live there! The management company is horrible. They nickel and dime you and they are impossible to work with!”
— 90 JOHN STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Zero good things about this building. Cons: Our apartment burnt down due to electrical malfunction in the building walls— and then I had to sue them to even get my security deposit back.”
— 90 JOHN STREET · Manhattan“Unit 1804 Pros: Friendly building staff, relatively spacious apartments, good closet space, excellent water pressure Cons: In the four years I lived there the scaffolding was up the entire time, there were constant broken elevators, broken lobby AC, no gym, no rooftop access, old and outdated hallways. Rent increases did not match the quality of the building Advice to landlord: Finish the construction. It’s been going on for years!”
— 90 JOHN STREET · Manhattan“Pros: It’s reasonably clean and some of the staff are friendly. Cons: AVOID THIS PLACE. Management, actually NOBODY here is on your side. I sent an email about noise and they didn't respond for nearly a week, then the resident coordinator (Ganni?) BROKE DOWN MY DOOR WITH EMS YELLING AT ME TO WAKE UP while I was sleeping in. All because I didn't respond to a phone call from the front desk. He did not apologize and felt justified and faced ZERO consequences for what he did. This is BEYOND a violation of my lease but SURPRISE, management wouldn’t let me out of it unless I pay 3 months of rent (near $ 8000). They claim they were "worried about my health” which is blatantly false because: 1. They emailed me back at the WRONG EMAIL, clearly demonstrating a lack of care or attention 2. Added insult to injury by requiring me to pay $8k and find a tenant, knowing how hard it will be to rent during this time. 3. They won't advertise my unit on their site "because it's currently occupied.” NOBODY here will help and they are conniving to boot. Also, HOT WATER DOES NOT WORK. Toilet also periodically overflows with no guarantee of help. And you will definitely hear your neighbors upstairs because there's no noise insulation, and others since this place is like a college dorm. Stay away. This place is the juice at the bottom of a trash can. Advice to landlord: I have no words for a management team that thinks the is acceptable behavior in any way.”
— 90 JOHN STREET · Manhattan“Pros: The actual apartments are nice Cons: The management company is terrible. They’re non responsive and advertise a “luxury” building that is far from luxurious”
— 90 JOHN STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Spacious, updated appliances, great view Cons: Roaches and terrible communication with management”
— 90 JOHN STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Full service building is a huge convenience, maintenance is very responsive Cons: Management company can be hard to get in touch with for issues not related to typical maintenance”
— 90 JOHN STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Close to the seaport and the subway. Great doorman! Cons: Homelessness and crime in the area post covid, ongoing construction with no end in sight. Advice to landlord: Provide tenants with updates on the lobby and construction.”
— 90 JOHN STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Very responsive when there’s any issues, gorgeous apartments Cons: Construction was annoying especially for how long it was going on. No notice about it. Advice to landlord: Provide notice about construction. Especially if someone is going to wake up to people right outside their window”
— 90 JOHN STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Nicely located, new lobby, no issues with Mice Cons: Had a scaffolding in front of my windows for years because of work in progress”
— 90 JOHN STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Location is great for transit. Front desk staff is great, very friendly and good people. Cons: Some neighbors weren't the best, loud, suspected drug use. Roof is closed in the winter. Office management doesn't care about you just money, had a roommate move out so wanted to add someone new to the lease and sign up for another year and they said we would have to go through the entire process like we were new to the building and tried to significantly increase our rent.”
— 90 JOHN STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Valet service, elevators Cons: Building is old and they just cover everything up with paint”
— 90 JOHN STREET · Manhattan“Pros: My apartment was cozy Cons: 100 John Stay away!!! I love my physical apartment, but everything else ruins the experience. 1. Management - completely unresponsive to emails and phone calls 2. Construction - lobby construction started shortly after I moved in (leasing agents never gave me a heads up). It was supposed to be finished after a couple of months. The new "lobby" is now open, but the entrance is not. Residents have to enter through a back entrance that's not safe. Management won't give a straight answer as to when the new entrance will be open. There's scaffolding on my terrace that should've been gone by now but they won't give a straight answer on that timeline either. 3. Laundry - machines are always broken 4. Safety - why pay for a doorman building if they let everyone up? My father came to visit, couldn't remember my apartment number, and asked the doorman. He gave the doorman my name and the doorman looked up my apartment number and gave it to him!!! He could've been a stalker or complete stranger 5. Hot water - they will turn off the hot water at 8am (peak time to get ready in the morning) but won't tell you that it's off for hours after you already took a freezing cold shower 6. Fires - apparently the tenant before me BURNED the apartment down. Would've been nice for the management to let me know this before moving in and having another tenant let me know months later 7. Valet - the package room is only open from 7:30am-7pm. It makes it impossible for people who work long hours to get their packages. Advice to landlord: Make an effort to actually care about the human beings that are PAYING a lot to live there.”
— 90 JOHN STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Elevator, laundry on 2 floors, water pressure Cons: Under construction for 2 years, with no update or end in sight; service entrance for guests and tenants; doormen do not do ONE thing- you’re lucky if they call you when you have a delivery/messenger/guest; doormen are not stationed by the entrance given it’s a service entrance, people can get to elevator bank before checking in @ the lobby, so it’s a huge safety concern; the service entrance is on Platt St, which looks out to a Sheraton courtyard which is often full of homeless on benches and outdoor tables; construction/trash/glass pile up on dirty sidewalks so forget having a pleasant experience coming or going; dog walking in the area is extremely difficult with all of the mess; doormen police you rather than help you out- yell at you for dogs despite being a dog permitted building; the valet/concierge stopped doing business with the building so the doormen are responsible for the mailroom & it gets extremely chaotic; the laundry machines are constantly broken (only about 12 washers and 8 dryers for a 200+ unit apartment); scaffolding has ravaged the building, you may think a balcony is a perk but it’s not when it’s unusable as it’s covered in scaffolding, nets, screws, debris, etc; the management company is near impossible to get a hold of and not interested in speaking to you about anything - in the event you do get a hold of someone, they (or rather Maeve) reads from a script and offers no help; the heating/AC units are always malfunctioning- my heater was broken for 2 winters in a row and the building said that would have to hire an outsider to fix as their maintenance crew could not. I was told a request was sent several time’s and nothing happened. They finally offered to move me into one of their LESSER buildings in a worse area. This is not a solution!; 4 total elevators in building. 1 of the 4 is for garbage so you can’t (and don’t want to) use that. The other 3 are for tenants and move ins/outs! It’s safe to say, if the 3, one is broken / gets stuck on floors, 1 is taken by movers that don’t care to schedule their time to execute a move in the building and the other two move extremely slowly - good luck!; the power goes out often due to construction - and the hot water. It was out for an entire week over Thanksgiving when I had guests stay with me! The management building does not care!; the wallpaper is coming off in hallways; carpet is DISGUSTING with stains and trash; vacuuming happens biweekly!!! Not enough!; young kids live here (college) that smoke weed and leave beer cans in elevator and/or hallways; trash schutes smell — no one cares about building upkeep!! It’s seriously gone down hill in 3 years FAST! Owners must have cash flow problems. I’ve also found roaches in my apartment and so has the tenant above me! Advice to landlord: Be better in every way!!!”
— 90 JOHN STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Affordas, big apartments Cons: Not as updated interiors, lack of amenities Advice to landlord: Consider adding a gym”
