Unit 17C Pros: The neighbors are friendly and no one is super loud, utilities included in rent Cons: The building has been under a constant state of construction. Facade repairs, water repairs (which lead to water shut offs), demolition of surrounding apartments, new elevators (never more than 2/3 working, oftentimes just one). There’s been a constant leak in our bathroom ceiling that we’ve complained about countless times. Maintenance comes and looks and says despite worsening water damage that nothing is wrong. Management is highly unresponsive and unhelpful. A gym was promised in Sept 2021, there is so no gym or plan for a gym in June 2022. There are “security” guards at the front desk that do nothing. There was a trash fire next to the building and nothing was mentioned to residents despite smoke streaming into windows and the trash situation remains unchanged. There were back doors to the building left open and homeless were coming in and banging on residents doors. This building looks like a dream on the surface, but it is a nightmare. Our rent went up by $633/month this year, no negotiation was allowed. Will not resign. Where is that $633/month going? Surely not toward that gym. Advice to landlord: Listen to your tenants!!! Hire more qualified maintenance people!!!

Unit 24H Pros: Location, spacious apartments, incredible views if you’re high enough, very nice units and appliances IF you have a renovated one. Cons: COCKROACHES AND OTHER RANDOM BUGS are consistently in your apartment, no matter how clean you keep it. It is a building wide problem that all residents regularly complain about. There are regular extermination services that don’t work. There is also always construction and renovation going on with very little notice, that can severely impact your ability to work from home. There are constant elevator issues, water issues, and zero building amenities (none of the photos you see on listings of gym spaces or anything like that currently exist and have not existed for the many years I’ve lived here). Advice to landlord: Fumigate the entire building, have exterminators do more than just a quick spray of the units, share detailed construction schedules broken down by floor, reopen office management for regular open hours for tenant discussion.

Pros: Clean and generally well maintained. Cons: Walls are paper thin. There is currently extensive construction in progress of the building's façade, which creates a lot of noise, making working from home almost impossible.

Pros: Security at the entrance is nice for show although I never actually saw them stop anyone. The building is directly across from Central Park which is great. Cons: There are only two elevators for a building with 30+ floor and they're extremely slow and often times only one is working. My roommates and I had issues with package theft as well, packages that were left outside of our apartment doors were stolen a few times. There was a shooting incident in the building that was never reported to tenants, I was only made aware because I happened to be in the building when it occurred and asked the police what was going on. Advice to landlord: Stronger security measures, cameras in hallways.

Pros: Good views, nice location next to the park, reasonable rent, friendly neighbors Cons: Water shut downs for a few hours almost every week for constant ongoing "maintenance emergencies". They're updating the elevators, which takes around 6 months per elevator, leaving a 35 floor building with only 2 functioning elevators. Advice to landlord: Limit the number of construction projects going on at one time
