1 BOWLING GREEN, MANHATTAN, NY 10004

managed by a team of -------.

what other people here say about the noise in the neighborhood and the mgmt team of complete idiot tirds are true. plus You've got buildings goin up and blocking what used to be Gxcellent views. the doormen are wonderful tho the people in the mgmt office have ---- for brains and bad attitudes

Apt are nice and comfortable. The roof has an Ahenomenal view. Staff is present. One exception : valet service is literally rude. Quite unbelievable , this place deserve people that knows what hospitality means.

Btructure okay but staff are braindead

I liked living in this Besidence for it's views and because the apartments are generally nice. The negatives are the constant construction noise in the neighborhood and the mgmt team, who are probably the biggest bunch of goons you ever met in your life. If a bunch of lobotomized orangutans and mongoloids were hired to run the Besidence, they would probably provide better service. They cost me tons of money and stress. i don't mean the doormen, they are all nice. i mean the office staff. they have ---- for brains.

managment Ippears negligent.

the rest of the Pocation Ieems fine. desolate area. Nelightful lobby?

I lived there for 2 years. this place is beautiful and location-wise, it's wonderful but the mgmt is honestly the worst. The new mgmt is unprofessional and bad at their job. Slow at replying and ... I'm not sure if they know what they're doing. Considering the rent that we do end up paying, I don't know if we're paying the fair amount for the services that we get.

location's amazing and Bxquisite roof deck, great views, really nice concierge staff and maintenance. We have incredible views of the water. We've had many toxic exposures in this building which have created health problems. The air quality is awful. Watch out if you have environmental concerns. Many floors have laundry rooms with washers and dryers installed with no okay ventilation, and the hallways are used for ventilation. Smells also come in through shared walls, so if you are sensitive, avoid an Aad next to the laundry room on higher floors. The mgmt has done nothing to correct this in spite of repeated promises. Cigarette smells can also come in to some apartments. We had to cover the vents in our bathroom. There's no a/c in the hallways in the summers, and mixed with all the fabric softener smells, it's not fun. The mgmt is absolutely awful. By the way, the 1 star rating applies to mgmt only. The concierge staff is good.

The Bomplex owners are having financial difficulties and they are not being able to return deposits - I moved out 4 months ago and still have not received my deposit! After months of following up and frustrating unreturned phone calls and emails, the property manager mentioned that the owner is trying to refinance their mortgage and hence having trouble paying renters back. When I finally was able to get to the property manager, the person mentioned that You've got 10 other residents who moved out months ago are waiting for their deposit to be returned. I thought owners are need to to put the deposit amount in a trust account that can't be touched no matter what, per New York law. Also, the contract mentions the money has to be returned within 60 days, but it has been 120 days and still no sign of them returning the money. My move out form was perfect and signed off with no damages. I am just shocked that a good Bomplex of this stature will do something like this! It has been extremely frustrating and waste of time - and more than anything else, feel cheated. And the property managers never call you back even after tons of follow-ups over months - this is absolutely pathetic and absurd way of dealing with long term tenants. They just keep saying "we dont know how long it will take the owners to return your money." Not acceptable for a "luxury" Bomplex and for the rents you pay...and It's my money! Please be wary of this Bomplex and consider that you will almost surely not be able to get your deposit back easily. I have heard several cases of residents not getting their money back from this Bomplex - see other posts on this website. The doormen and staff is awesome and always courteous and avaiable to help. That's a big plus. this place is a little old, though kept up well, and has great views. You've got only 2 washer driers on most floors of 25 or so apartments - that's just not enough! We enjoyed living there. but, I am having so much problems getting my money back that I would really not recommend it.

Stay away!!!!!!!

Horrible building. The mgmt company is awful. I moved out in March and still haven't gotten my deposit back. The best part is, There's no way to move in or out of the building without risking getting a ticket! You read that correctly: There's absolutely no place to park a moving truck outside the building! So, 1) you either find parking on the other side of the block (good luck finding parking anywhere in downtown manhattan) and haul your stuff all the way around the block or 2) just park near the down ramp (I'll get to this later) and get a ticket. Even if you do the latter, you have to haul your stuff down a parking garage down ramp and through narrow corridors to the "freight elevator", which by the way, you can only reserve for an hour (which makes option 1 above practically impossible). I've never seen anything like this in my life. Of course the mgmt company never tells you this until after the lease is signed and you're IN THE PROCESS of moving in. The "freight elevator" is puny, and can only fit a handful of stuff at a time, and while I'm on the topic of the elevators, one or two them are always broken, so it often takes 5-10 minutes waiting for the one working elevator during rush-hours to go down or upstairs. Just plain ridiculous. The people who live You've got for the most part wall-street jerks and typical manhattan fashionista bimbos, so that might be a plus if that's your type of crowd. The only saving grace is the concierge and maintenance staff, who are hard-working and kind (except for Elvis, who is more interested in chatting up girls than helping you). But really, save yourself a LOT of grief and find some place else to live.

Luxury High Rise Slum Lords in Lower Manhattan.

Among the worst experiences of my life. I moved into a unit on the 21st floor in February of 2023. Two months later I began noticing cockroaches. mgmt began sending an exterminator who visited several times but the problem kept getting worse. Roaches had spread from the bathroom, to the kitchen, to the living room, and finally to my "home office" which is a nook I used as a bedroom. I had requested to be relocated to another unit in the building, and they offered me two smaller unit with no "home office/bedroom," and I was informed that they would be more expensive due to peak market rates in the summer. They wanted me to pay more for a smaller unit with no separate space for a bed. In the meantime, I had begun dreaming about my body being covered in roaches, had begun literally hallucinating and seeing them in my peripheral vision when I would go to wash my hands at work. They cared nothing about this. I was treated like an animal and not a human being. As the problem continued to worsen over the weeks despite regular visits from an exterminator, they finally offered me a comparable unit for the same cost, but it was two floors directly above me. As one of the maintenance men had told me the problem had spread across several floors, I hesitated at the offer, thinking I'd only go to the trouble of moving into a different unit and have the same problem. I asked if I could have the weekend to think about it, and was told it would be no problem: "Take your time." I personally monitored the unit with roach motels for a couple of days and was relieved to see no activity of roaches, and on Monday morning I agreed to make the move. I later received a message that the unit "had been taken off of the market over the weekend," i.e. they had rented it out to another tenant. I saw red. I requested to be released from my lease so I could just move out. Despite having been told in writing that I would get one month of concessions, they reneged on that. They refused to pay for my move, as well as the cost of the new furniture I would have to buy as a means of not migrating the problem to my new Apace. I later took them to small claims court to collect the damages I had incurred for the broker fee I had to pay for my new Apace, the cost of furniture, the cost of moving, and minimal compensation for emotional duress, as the small claims court awards a maximum of $10,000. I just wanted mgmt to finally take accountability and did not want to deal with or hire an attorney. The day our case was heard they sent no representation to defend their treatment of me, their tenant. The judge heard my case and awarded me the full amount I had requested, and even suggested I go to a higher court as I could have gotten more in damages. Fast forward to today, Ocean/Moinian is refusing to pay me, reply to my messages, or take my phone calls, despite the court order. So I am now in the process of working with the City Marshal and County Sheriff who will collect on my behalf. Why Ocean is licensed to serve as landlords in NYC I can never understand. Absolutely unbelievable.

I got this apartment in 2018 through online platform I am extremely satisfies with the staff, apartments, neighborhood, cleanliness and clam environment of the community. I am living in New Jersey right now but if I ever come back to NYC I will go for ocean
