“Pros: Clean, beautiful, spacious apartments. Staff is mostly friendly. Management generally responsive. I enjoyed my time living there. Cons: The main issue I had is that they raised my rent significantly year after year to the point where I had no choice but to move out. I found out from others in the building that they had tons of occupancy, so I assume this was just a move to maximize profits. A bummer, because I would have liked to stay there for a long time. If you move here ensure you are either wealthy enough to weather the big rent increases or otherwise get ready to move out after a year or two.”

— 601 WEST 57 STREET · Manhattan“Unit 8J Pros: I love the cleanliness and modern finishes of the building and apartment itself. The management responds wicked fast and always feel taken care of. Cons: It’s annoying to live on 11th avenue and the shuttle is a bit of a gimmick. Also the fact that we have to swipe the key to get through the elevator and to get to your floor is a bit extra. It makes it difficult to have friends over in a seamless manner. Advice to landlord: Let us buzz people in without having to use key”

— 601 WEST 57 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Doormen, and staff. They are really awesome! Cons: Durst management does not care. Their office is across the street, yet difficult to get in touch with. When we first moved in, agent gave us wrong information about their “specials”, and did not find out until after lease was signed... It’s basically been like that since. For example, during pandemic they were supposed to refund us after the gym had closed. Multiple emails, 2 voicemails, nothing. We let it go, but were quick to move out 3 months before our lease expired. Also, they’re basically letting anyone move in. I understand covid was crushing, but when I see someone in the lobby with ripped pajama pants revealing a chunk of their behind... I mean come on, Durst. Shame on you. Advice to landlord: Hey Durst family, pay attention.”

Roof deck closed 1/2 the year. Advice to landlord: Try to extend roof deck by installing heaters.”
