AUGUSTUS JAMES CORP. · avg 3.8 ★★★★★ · New York City
“Pros: Apartments and studios are simple but spacious with a good layout. They are generally well-maintained and building maintenance people are very quick to respond and solve any issues. There is a small gym at ground floor (free). Doormen and building staff are great. Cons: Hallways are pretty basic and could be cleaned more often. Intermittent issues with AC and water supply (although usually solved pretty quickly).”

— 517 WEST 59 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Good location / For us it was subsidized by an institution so rent was below market price. Cons: We had roaches infestation throughout our stay there. No matter how much you cleaned, it always felt dirty. Very small restroom. Advice to landlord: Get it renovated. Hasn’t been touched since the 1970s it’s my guess.”
