Unit 26h Pros: Big apartments, nice neighbors, good location Cons: Hot water works maybe 40% of the time. Security has some serious issues with letting people in. I have multiple solicitors every week and I have seen people sleeping in the stairwell. A lot of money is being spent making it look nice and new, but the ceiling in the lobby is always leaking in both towers. Building staff is amazing, management is horrid. Alex in the office is amazing but she only has so much to work with.

Pros: Recently remodeled buildings New exterior renovations improved heating / cooling somewhat Most units have balconies New gym is enough to get the job done Laundry room app lets you see available machines (in theory) Cons: Low quality “flipper” caliber fixtures and finishes in the newly renovated units. Eg peel and stick vinyl faux gray wood flooring. Despite exterior insulation, the buildings are sweltering in the summer and freezing in the winter. Last winter I struggled to get above 65° Gym is small and people are so rude and inconsiderate Laundry room is constantly filthy. Room is shared between both buildings (2x 35 floors = 500+ units sharing the laundry room) The building mgmt was a complete joke. Alexandra and Carol had no idea what they were doing. Totally disorganized. Completely non-responsive to tenant issues. Building maintenance was incompetent and repairs needed to be re-done multiple times The lobby ceiling is constantly leaking — even after months of construction Some of the long-term rent-stabilized tenants are aggressive toward the market rate tenants Advice to landlord: Fire everyone and start over.

Pros: The people who work for the building are responsive and professional Cons: Roaches. It’s infested with roaches. Market rate for roaches is insane and shouldn’t be legal. Pest control will come every 2 weeks and roaches persist. I just moved in and I can’t wait to move tf out. Don’t let the renovations (which are poorly done) and 2 months free rent fool you. This place is lipstick on a pig. Advice to landlord: Fumigate the entire fucking building before you charge market rate.

Unit 10F Pros: General good condition maintenance-wise, two modern elevators, in building laundry, good residents/neighbors, supermarket on ground floor is very convenient, very good commute to most of Manhattan with 2/3 and 6 stations nearby Cons: Active and noisy construction with little notice to affected occupants, including construction of temporary partitions that reduce usable habitation area; one elevator is unreliable and frequently goes temporarily out of service Advice to landlord: Better communication about construction schedule and milestones (when each side will be blocked off, when facade work for each side is expected to complete, etc)

Pros: Generally a nice building. Largely pest free. Nice amenities like laundry and dishwasher. Good layout, light, and amount of space in common areas- though smaller bedrooms with mini windows. Friendly people in the building. Cons: Management was not super responsive at times for repairs/maintenance. Lots of unexpected building construction, very frequent building wide water shut offs, notice of more invasive construction to come. Was also going to start charging us for electricity. All of that considered, continued to increase the rent. Advice to landlord: Don’t try and increase the rent if you’re going to shut down the water and/or power more than monthly.

Pros: Utilities included in rent, amenities (gym, lounge, community events), location (being right by Central Park and by the 2/3 and 6 lines), employees and maintenance super friendly Cons: Management absolutely sucks at responding to emails (you need to go the office in-person to get anything done), security guards don't do anything (but are kind!) Advice to landlord: Please be better about responding to your tenants. It can be extremely frustrating when trying to get things processed.
